title: To Darkness and to Death (Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne Mysteries)
author:  Julia Spencer-Fleming 
description: <i>Starred Review.</i> Set during a single day, Agatha-winner Spencer-Fleming's explosive fourth mystery (after 2004's <i>Out of the Deep I Cry</i>) takes Rev. Clare Fergusson and Millers Kill, N.Y., police chief Russ Van Alstyne far from the tranquility offered by the Anglican services of morning prayer, Order for Noonday and Evensong. A phone call at 5:15 on a cold November morning leads Clareex-army helicopter pilot and rector of St. Alban's Episcopal Churchto join the local search and rescue team to look for the missing sister of recluse Eugene van der Hoeven, head of the 250,000-acre Haudenosaunee estate. On a day when she should be at St. Alban's preparing for the bishop's annual visit, Clare finds herself involved with Russ in an investigation involving brutal beatings, kidnapping and murder. As the day unfolds, Clare and Russ are compelled to examine their own relationship when the diocesan deacon arrives early to discuss a "serious matter" with Clare. Given her seminary training and her army background, it's not surprising that Clare deals with all that comes her way with energy, expertise, sensitivity and humor. Spencer-Fleming has brought alive the people and environs of Millers Kill in another riveting mystery. <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
