Following the stunning success of her debut novel, Julia Spencer-Fleming returns to the Adirondack town of Miller's Kill. It's summer, and a violent attack on a doctor triggers a series of gay-bashing episodes.

"I stayed up waaaaay too late reading this one, even though I pretty much had the mystery all figured out. What kept me up so late at night was the continuing dynamic between Reverend Clare Fergusson and the married Chief of Police, Russ Van Alstyne. After spending the remaining winter and spring studiously avoiding each other, they are together again, determined to keep attraction at bay, and figure out who's behind a series of vicious hate crimes in small town Miller's Kill, NY.
The mystery wasn't a taut as the previous and more than a little messy in some parts, and the helicopter scene was just way over the top. But Spencer-Fleming maintains slow burn, tension and intensity of not only the investigation but between Clare and Russ. There's a scene that made me laugh out loud when Clare and Russ are bantering about the use of the a/c in his truck. It was pitch perfect to the same 'argument' Ed and I have about a/c in his car, too.
That's what I love about these books. They are, indeed, "pitch perfect". The dialogue, characterization, motivations, scenery -- I can see, hear, feel and smell it all."
