Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Katie on October 26, 2013

Five stars for the ending, which took my heart out and RIPPED IT TO PIECES. (view spoiler)[ "There's something in me that recognized you. Right from the start. The parts of me that always felt alone, the parts of me that I always kept hidden away, out of sight--I could see that you had them, too." He smiled a little (hide spoiler)]......more

Goodreads review by Hallie on March 03, 2014

4.5, maybe? The number of murders, life-threatening situations into which Clare &/or Russ fall, and general wrong-doing continues, in all honesty, fairly ridiculous, but I loved the way the history of Miller's Kill and its families was incorporated into this book. None of the books in the series I'v......more

Goodreads review by Cynthia on March 02, 2023

One of the eight books by this author who combines a love story with historical fiction and police investigations. Is that a genre? Of note, this book also delves into the history of immunizations in the U.S., specifically the vaccination developed in the 1920’s for diphtheria. This topic is relevant......more

Goodreads review by Mark on November 20, 2022

This tale provides an interesting study in time, legacy, inter-dependency and companionship. The format is interesting especially in terms of time discontinuity. A good solid mystery; a worthwhile read.......more

Goodreads review by Karen on March 30, 2008

[Book: OUT OF THE DEEP I CRY], and cry I did. I started this book over a month ago after getting an autographed copy (and a hug) from Julia at the South Carolina Book Festival. I was ill at the time and became even more ill in the weeks that followed. I kept plugging along, wanting to read more and......more

Quotes

“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
