A 2005 Edgar Allan Poe Award Nominee for Best Novel
Hot on the heels of her multi-award-winning debut, In the Bleak Midwinter, Julia Spencer-Fleming delivers the latest captivating mystery in her acclaimed series.
When the local doctor disappears from the small town of Millers Kill, New York, it doesn't take long for the gossip-mongers to start insinuating foul play. Amid escalating suspicions that he was
"disposed of" due to his ongoing fight to prevent authorities from cutting his clinic's funding, Episcopal priest Clare Fergusson and police chief Russ van Alstyne are enlisted to investigate.
Neither could have bargained for what they discover, however, as they pursue an investigation that takes them deep into the past—to the Jazz Age, Prohibition, and the Great Depression—and to a series
of sordid and horrifying secrets one family will risk everything to keep hidden.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“One of the great pleasures in a mystery reviewer’s life is watching a promising series take root and blossom into something strong and unusual. Out of the Deep I Cry...is a perfect example.” —Baltimore Sun
“The author expertly portrays the power of grief, guilt, greed, and love and their effect on good people in a story as chilling as the month of March in Millers Kill. A subtle sense of humor further enhances this poignant and provocative mystery.” —Publishers Weekly
“Well-written dialogue…The end is riveting and rewarding.” —AudioFile
“Early spring in the Adirondacks is vividly described in this third installment in the series, and both the main and secondary characters are well developed. Church practice, police procedures, army tactics, and the vaccination of children frame the central mystery as the plot jumps from past to present. A comfortable mix of police procedural and village cozy.” —Booklist
