Being called away from a contentious town meeting is appealing to the Police Chief of Millers Kill. But this call is just as disturbing as the meeting. The body of an unknown young female has been discovered along local route 137. She was wearing a pretty new dress. Chief Russ Van Alstyne has heard of police calls like this before. In 1952, 72 and now today identical calls went out. The cause of deaths was never determined in 52 or 72. No one was arrested. Now number 3.
This is Hid From Our Eyes, Julia Spencer Fleming’s ninth Russ Van Alstyne/Claire Ferguson mystery novel. The Police Chief and his Episcopal Minister wife work together to solve the current crime while facing many other professional and personal issues. The solution to the crime is unexpected and seems forced, and even a bit strange.
Hid From Our Eyes is not a tense page turner. There are too many issues forced into the plot. These issues become distractions and leave you wondering if they are not teases for book #10.
