New York Times bestseller Julia Spencer-Fleming returns to her beloved Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne mystery series with new crimes that span decades in Hid from Our Eyes.
1952. Millers Kill Police Chief Harry McNeil is called to a crime scene where a woman in a party dress has been murdered with no obvious cause of death.
1972. Millers Kill Police Chief Jack Liddle is called to a murder scene of a woman that's very similar to one he worked as a trooper in the 50s. The only difference is this time, they have a suspect. Young Vietnam War veteran Russ van Alstyne found the body while riding his motorcycle and is quickly pegged as the prime focus of the investigation.
Present-day. Millers Kill Police Chief Russ van Alstyne gets a 911 call that a young woman has been found dead in a party dress, the same MO as the crime he was accused of in the 70s. The pressure is on for Russ to solve the murder before he's removed from the case.
Russ will enlist the help of his police squad and Reverend Clare Fergusson, who is already juggling the tasks of being a new mother to her and Russ's baby and running St. Alban's Church, to finally solve these crimes.
Listeners have waited years for this newest book and Julia Spencer-Fleming delivers with the exquisite skill and craftsmanship that have made her such a success.

Customer Reviews
Super dull, implausible.
Really bad, huge waste of my time.
I was drawn in by the gorgeous cover and intriguing title (despite it not being grammatically correct—I figured I'd keep an open mind, artistic license and all that). I love a good mystery / police-procedural and small town? Even better.
Wrong.
The book was poorly written, implausible and had continuity issues. It was also extremely dull and very drawn out.
Save yourself and find another.
2 stars, because I've seen worse, but very much disliked it.

Audio:
The narrator actually did a pretty good job, no complaints there. The production itself was a little patchy at times, hopefully the author got a discount or something for this.
