Series: #3 in the Rev. Clare Fergusson - Russ Van Alstyne series
Genre: Mystery
Publication Date: 2004
Pages: 388
Challenges: A-Z Reading #45 (O Title), TBR 2008 Alternate #6
Clare Fergusson is an Episcopal Priest in Millers Kill, NY. She also happens to be an ex army helicopter pilot. In this third installment in this series the relationship and romantic tension between Clare and Russ Van Alstyne (the local chief of police) continues.
There are actually two mystery stories in this book, both involving missing men. Back in 1930 Jonathon Ketchem disappeared and was never seen again. Now there’s another man missing in town. This time the missing man is Dr. Allan Rouse, the only doctor at the local free clinic (which happens to have been started and funded by Jonathon Ketchem’s widow). The story shifts back and forth between present day with Clare and Russ trying to find out what happened to Dr. Rouse, and also to the 1920’s and 30’s as the story of what happened to Jonathon Ketchem is gradually revealed.
I enjoy this series a lot, but read them in order.
No stars – I couldn’t even finish it
1 star – I didn’t like it but I managed to finish it.
2 stars – It was OK. Not good, but seriously just OK.
3 stars - I liked it. I didn’t think it was great, but I thought it was good entertainment.
4 stars – I really liked it. I really think you might like it too.
5 stars – It was amazing. I’d recommend this to just about anyone.

I'm here to say blah-blah-blah because nobody else has commented and that's just a crime. :)
Bookfool: You crack me UP!!
oooh, I love mystery series and will look up the first one (I'm very liner). What caught my eye was the title from Psalms.
I don't want to read your review in case there are spoilers! This the next one for me in the series. I love this series and am trying not to zip through too quickly.
I'll have to add this to my list of series to read someday. Wow, that sounds vague.
Debd: I really enjoy this series and definitely recommend it.
Beth: I really try to avoid spoilers in my review. If you've read the first two, you'll love this one.
Framed: give the first one a try - I think you'll like it.
