"The long-awaited next installment of the Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne Series by Julia Spencer-Fleming did not disappoint. <br/><br/>I have been a loyal fan of Julia Spencer-Fleming’s work for years. It was great to get re-aquainted with these characters. In Hid From Our Eyes, we learn about what seems like a ritualistic murder that seems strikingly familiar to Russ. Turns out, he was a suspect in a very similar murder years earlier that was never solved. The path to solving this crime – and the cold case – takes several twists and turns. <br/><br/>Underlying this plot, Russ and Clare are dealing with the possible elimination of the Miller’s Kill police department as well as the ups and downs of parenting a new baby. <br/><br/>I couldn’t put this book down – the teaser at the end leaves readers definitely wanting more. I hope we don’t have to wait seven years to get it!<br/><br/>"
