It's a cold, snowy December in the upstate New York town of Millers
Kill, and newly ordained Clare Fergusson is on thin ice as the
first female priest of its small Episcopal church. The ancient
regime running the parish covertly demands that she prove herself
as a leader. However, her blunt manner, honed by years as an army
pilot, is meeting with a chilly reception from some members of her
congregation and Chief of Police Russ Van Alystyne, in particular,
doesn't know what to make of her, or how to address "a lady priest"
for that matter.
The last thing she needs is trouble, but that is exactly what she
finds. When a newborn baby is abandoned on the church stairs and a
young mother is brutally murdered, Clare has to pick her way
through the secrets and silence that shadow that town like the
ever-present Adirondack mountains. As the days dwindle down and the
attraction between the avowed priest and the married police chief
grows, Clare will need all her faith, tenacity, and courage to
stand fast against a killer's icy heart.
"In the Bleak Midwinter" is one of the most outstanding Malice
Domestic winners the contest has seen. The compelling
atmosphere-the kind of very cold and snowy winter that is typical
of upstate New York-will make you reach for another sweater. The
characters are fully and believably drawn and you will feel like
they are your old friends and find yourself rooting for them every
step of the way.
