THROUGH THE EVIL DAYS (Julia Spencer-Fleming)

Julia Spencer-Fleming knows how to set up a plot and how to keep her readers on he edge of their chairs!  Millers Falls, NY police chief Russ Van Allstyne and Rev. Clare Fergusson are now married and expecting a child, an event that is causing friction between the two. 

When the home of an ex-FBI agent is torched and their 8-year-old foster child, a recent liver transplant recipient, disappears, the Millers Falls PD is focused on finding the child before her body rejects the liver.  Russ and Clare begin their delayed honeymoon in a remote cabin during an ice storm despite the current situation and, of course, the action ends up revolving around the lake where the cabin is located.  If you are looking for an action-packed, non-stop mystery complete with appealing characters dealing with real-life emotional angst as well as some pretty dicey and dangerous situations, check out this series.  I've read the first and this one and each one was very satisfying, not to mention exciting!
