Rev Clare Fergusson and Russ Van Alstyne are about ready to tie the knot. Clare is back from Afghanistan addicted to drugs and alcohol.

I might need to add another shelf "books I've waited... and waited for". This book was definitely worth the wait! The story was intricate and well paced, the plot twists were believable not wrenching or exaggerated. The characters are believable, I love Russ and Clare. The ending was great...

The ending is a little too with-a-bow tidy, but Spencer-Fleming does do a nice job showing the different ways serving in combat can affect those that return. Somewhat lacking on the mystery front, though - takes far too long to get rolling and doesn't deliver much of a payoff once it does.

What a cliff-hanger! Can't wait for the next in the series
