All Mortal Flesh by Julia Spencer-Fleming

Book No. 5 in the
Clare Ferguson / Russ Van Alstyne mystery series

"When Millers Kill, NY, police chief Russ Van Alstyne tells his wife that he is in love with Clare Fergusson, the Episcopal priest for St. Albans Church, she throws him out. A few weeks later, her mutilated body is found in her kitchen, and suspicion falls upon Russ and Clare. What begins as a cut-and-dried murder mystery turns into something more complex. While Russ becomes too emotional to handle the investigation properly, Clare grows stronger in adversity, displaying remarkable resilience. In her fifth book in the series (after To Darkness and Death), the award-winning Spencer-Fleming is at the top of her game." ~ from Library Journal Review
