Product Description:
In In the Bleak Midwinter, Julia Spencer-Fleming’s Malice Domestic–winning first mystery, Reverend Clare Fergusson was quickly introduced to a more eventful life than she had expected after moving to the small town of Millers Kill in upstate New York. But the Episcopal priest and former Army Air Force chopper pilot proved to her flockæ and to police chief Russ Van Alstyneæthat she could cope with the unexpected, even when it was as dire as murder. In this new adventure for the two ill-matched friends (who are gamely resisting something beyond friendship), evidence shows that a small town can hold just as much evil as the Wicked City.

Rating:  - Buy the paperback

If I hadn't gotten it for free during a recent Amazon promotion, I would be asking for my money back.
What's wrong with it?
* First, the device renders each page so slowly that turning pages is annoying--every page! I've been told that this is a consequence of not using the font ... Read More
Rating:  - Kindle format
(Kindle format). Interesting book, bad e-formatting. Many format errors, including line spacing and kerning, words falling into the line below - it all makes for a very crowded, tight page. Forced hyphenation means odd hyphens in the middle of lines.
Strong characters, interesting story, although a little more politically/socially heavy-handed than the first book.
Some irritating automotive errors - the Reverend Clare drives a classic car which is worth upwards of $45,000, ... Read More
