Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review the new book in Julia Spencer-Fleming's great Rev. Clare Fergusson & Russ Van Alstyne Mysteries series. This is number 10 in the series, and comes five years after "Hid From Our Eyes". But she hasn't missed a beat, as we're right back with Clare and Russ (and their son Ethan) in the town of Millers Kill.
Russ has now been (forcibly) retired, but as always itching for action, so when one of his former deputies suddenly drops from site - after having been undercover with white supremacists - he happily joins with Hadley Knox, picking up a Park Ranger along the way, and ends up himself in the world of militias and white supremacy.
Meanwhile, Clare - preparing for Christmas as it fast approaches - also becomes entangled in that world, along with an young lawyer from the Attorney General's office, who is investigating off the books.
And what they all begin to uncover could lead to an absolutely horrific terrorist attack so close to two major religious events - Hannukah and Christmas.
I have read and loved all of the previous books in this series, and liked this one just as much. Although I did spend an inordinate amount of time screaming ' don't do that'! (Much like in horror movies where the unwitting teen ends up the victim of a serial killer/vampire/zombie).
You don't have to have read all of the previous books in the series - but it wouldn't hurt. Recommended.
