In the small Adirondack town of Millers Kill, an old lumberman sits in the dark with his gun across his knees. Not far away, an unemployed logger sleeps off his bender from the night before. The owner of the town's last paper mill tosses in his bed. And a young woman, one of three heirs to the 250,000-acre Great Camp, wakes alone in darkness, bound and gagged.
Chief of police Russ Van Alstyne wants nothing more than a quiet day of hunting in the mountains on his fiftieth birthday. His wife needs to have the town's new luxury resort ready for its gala opening night. The reverend Clare Fergusson expects to spend the day getting St. Alban's Church ready for the bishop's annual visit. Her long-distance suitor from New York expects some answers about their relationship during his weekend in town.
In Millers Kill, where everyone knows everyone and all are part of an interconnected web of blood or acquaintance, one person's troubles have a way of ensnaring others. What begins as a simple case of a woman lost in the woods leads to a tangle of revenge, blackmail, assault, kidnapping, and murder. As the hours tick by, Russ and Clare struggle to make sense of their town's plunge into chaos—and their own chaotic emotions.
Something terrible waits in the ice-rimed mountains cradling Millers Kill. Something that won't be content with just one death—or two.
In To Darkness and to Death, Julia Spencer-Fleming continues her moving story of the way a small town, as well as a great city, can harbor evil, and the struggle of two honest people to deal with the ever-present threat of their feelings for one another.
Lots of intrigue and interaction as conflicts are generated by a massive land sale in the Adirondacks. The chief and the reverend continue with their relationship which is getting more attention in the community. Lots of moving parts and a short timespan move the story along nicely but does require your attention. ( )
Julia Spenser-Fleming has created a mystery series about a young woman Priest/Detective who lives in a small town in the Adirondaks of New York. I like mysteries with a clergy person crime solver but Clare Ferguson of St. Alban's Church in Miller's Kill NY is not my favorite. She has much going for her as a character including being a former army helicopter pilot. Her relationship with the police chief, a married man, is a distraction to some otherwise good stories. I do like the setting of this fictional town. It is in the far north of New York not far from Saratoga and Lake George. While she solves mysteries, upsets Church members with her unconventional hobby she encounters men who are interested in her but she is too infactuated with the married police chief to develop a relationship with someone who could actually be with her. Not my favorite clergy/detective but fun to read. ( )

She had always thought of herself as a fighter, as a leading-the-charge-from the-deck-of-the-Rainbow-Warrior sort. Now she discovered it was possible to be so tired, so hurt and sad and scared, that the Rainbow Warrior sank beneath a black sea, leaving her adrift, no surface under her feet.

She chimed in, her alto humming above his baritone, the sleeves of his dinner jacket falling over her hands, and they danced, beneath the November moon, to sad, sweet music they made themselves.
