Our Sleuth is on the Trail of New Mysteries. . .

ALISON THOMAS   

 


In Julia Spencer-Fleming’s latest mystery All Mortal Flesh ($22.95), obsession and lies haunt the upstate New York town of Millers Kill.  Nothing is as it seems—betrayal and evil wait inside quaint white clapboard farmhouses.  Police chief Russ von Alstyne is accused of murdering his wife, and ex-helicopter pilot turned “problem Episcopal priest: Clare Ferguson struggles to clear him.  The high stakes plot culminates in a climax that surpasses previous outings.  This is a series that grows better with each novel. 

 

The Chemistry of Death by Simon Beckett ($22) is a story of forensic science, mystery and nightmare that has descended on the English village of Manham in rural Norfolk.  Dr. David Hunter has abandoned his old profession for a quiet life in the countryside, but after a series of bizarre killings, Hunter and the police conclude that a serial predator is at work, and they must work against time before he strikes again.
