At Midnight Comes the Cry by Julia Spencer-Fleming

This is the first Clare and Russ story I’ve read.  Interesting dynamics, Clare, an Episcopalian Priest and Major in the Army National Guard, is married to Russ, a former Police Chief in the unlikely named town of Miller’s Kill. Clare’s role as a priest frequently runs afoul of her past life as a tough ex-Army chopper pilot.  The relational aspects run pleasantly through the book.  This novel’s plot revolves around a white Nationalist militant group and their nefarious plans.

 

The subplot of the book is domestic violence.  The inclusion of Native Americans is a bonus.  Spencer-Fleming seamlessly blends a wide variety of characters with their strengths and foibles. 

 

The story moves fast, has plenty of action, and is captivating.

 

I recommend the book.
