Hid from our Eyes is the 9th installment of Julia Spencer-Fleming's Fergusson/Van Alstyne Mysteries series. I didn't realize that this was part of a series until I started it so I felt like something was missing for me with connecting with the characters. The writing is excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to start the series but i would start from the series beginning with the first book. The storyline is interesting however - it features 3 identical murders from different time periods - 1952, 1972 and "present day". In each case a woman is found dead in a party dress and in all three cases her underwear, shoes, stockings and purse are missing. I enjoyed the mystery but think I would have enjoyed this book more by not starting with the last of the series. Thank you Minotaur books and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. 3.5 stars rounded up
