Representaion Concering Books Out of the Deep I Cry (The Rev. Clare Fergusson & Russ Van Alstyne Mysteries #3)
On April 1, 1930, Jonathan Ketchem's wife Jane walked from her house to the police department to ask for help in finding her husband. The men, worn out from a night of chasing bootleggers, did what they could. But no one ever saw Jonathan Ketchem again... Now decades later, someone else is missing in Miller's Kill, NY. This time it's the physician of the clinic that bears the Ketchem name. Suspicion falls on a volatile single mother with a grudge against the doctor, but Reverend Clare Fergusson isn't convinced. As Clare and Russ investigate, they discover that the doctor's disappearance is linked to a bloody trail going all the way back to the hardscrabble Prohibition era. As they draw ever closer to the truth, their attraction for each other grows increasingly more difficult to resist. And their search threatens to uncover secrets that snake from one generation to the next--and to someone who's ready to kill. Julia Spencer-Fleming has created the most intriguing entry yet in her Anthony, Agatha and Macavity Award-winning detective series, which "brings new airs and graces to the traditional small-town mystery" (New York Times Book Review). Out of the Deep I Cry is a 2005 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Novel.

I read this book after I completed Books 1, 4, and 2. So now I'm caught up on the story line with the female Episcopal priest and the married male police officer, both of whom are in danger of -- but determined not to -- breaking their respective vows.The story, with its background (and flashbacks to 1920s-30 prohibition and inoculation for diphtheria) having to do with a free clinic, a conflict about inoculations for children, near-violent outcomes, is compelling reading. Oh, and the two menRE-READ (audio) 29 Jan 2020 (★★★★)Format of OUT OF THE DEEP I CRY, #3 of FVA series, differs from previous books in that investigation into disappearance of free clinic doctor is interwoven w/ events from 1920-30s (via flash-back storytelling). Rating primarily for twists & turns in both storylines, b/c Im definitely *not* feeling the love (yes, pun intended). Will not be happy camper if rom subplot remains on current trajectory & veers into verboten territory :/
I'm rereading this much beloved series because I've heard rumors that book 9 may be finally on its way, and I want to have read the others recently when that happens.
Five stars for the ending, which took my heart out and RIPPED IT TO PIECES.(view spoiler)["There's something in me that recognized you. Right from the start. The parts of me that always felt alone, the parts of me that I always kept hidden away, out of sight--I could see that you had them, too." He smiled a little. "Sorry, I'm not saying this very smoothly."She stepped closer. "I never asked you to be smooth. Just to be yourself."He had to close his eyes for a moment, to get himself under
The Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne series,is yet another I promised myself I'd read when I retired. I had read the first two,liked the light mysteries and adored the angst exhibited by the two main characters. She, a former army chopper pilot, now an Episcopal priest and he, a married small-town chief of police steam up the pages in the cold winters in Millers Kill, NY.In parallel stories,Van Alstyne and Fergusson seek missing persons, Jonathan Ketchem, a cold case from the 30's, the other the
Nicely done. Interesting theme to the plot. I love reading a series from the beginning, in order, and seeing how the characters and their lives evolve. Waiting anxiously to read the next one.On April 1, 1930, Jonathan Ketchem's wife Jane walked from her house to the police department to ask for help in finding her husband.

This is the third of Julia Spencer-Fleming's novels that I have read, and she is bidding to become a new favorite author. In this particular outing, protagonists Rev. Claire Fergusson and police chief Russ Van Alstyne become entangled in a parallel investigation -- two missing men, one who disappeared in the 1930s and one who disappears in the here-and-now. All of the action starts because the church roof is leaking, and one of the vestry members is willing to surrender her family trust to have
