Police Chief Russ van Alstyne doesn't expect any gossip in the town about his carefully contained feelings for the Reverend Clare Fergusson. So he certainly doesn't expect to be the prime suspect when his wife is found murdered in their own home. To the state police, it's an open-and-shut-case of a disaffected husband, silencing first his wife, then the investigation he controls.

But nothing is as it seems in the small Adirondack town of Millers Kill, where betrayal twists old friendships and evil waits inside white-clapboard farmhouses. Russ and Clare struggle against the reach of the law, the authority of the church, and their own guilty hearts in All Mortal Flesh.

.. because of over emphasizing every line of dialogue. It became really irritating because nothing was said in a normal tone, making regular sentences all sounding over dramatic. But the story is good.

While I'm more of a crime or detective mystery reader, the series' premise of an Episcopal priest who falls in love with the married police chief while investigating crimes in their small community has been an intriguing storyline to watch develop. I didn't like this story as much as the first books in the series; but it seems to be one that you must read before moving on to the others. And, I will be reading the others.

A Must-Read in the Series

I really enjoyed this book. It is the first of this authors books that I have read. I believe I will go back to the beginning of the series and start there. But I’m not sure I can resist jumping ahead when her new one comes out which won’t be too much longer.

I love finding a new author

I love the complexity of the people in this series. The relationship between Russ and Clare gets especially complicated in this one. The tension between the two of them is paralleled by the tension between each and his or her employers. And that's without the drama of the murder and chasing down suspects and Clare getting herself in peril yet again. I also like the writing: The language and imagery are both varied and sophisticated which makes for a satisfying and stimulating read.

Fabulous series, great writing

Would you listen to All Mortal Flesh again? Why?

Probably not -- I rarely read books twice or listen to them twice.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Claire -- I am an Episcopalian so it's neat to have a main character from my church and tradition. Plus she's a strong female character which is always refreshing

Any additional comments?

This is book no. 5 in the series not book no. 4 which is what the Audible information says! Please fix this Audible. It's VERY important to read these books in order and as far as I know they are not all available as audiobooks on Audible. I had to read a couple in regular print form. Please do them all as audiobooks and number them correctly!

The best one in the series yet -- but it is no 5!

The characters depart from working together as they had in previous books ... looking forward to reading how the relationship changes in the next book.

normally by halfway through a book I could pretty much tell who did it. in this book it kept flipping back and forth with different people who could have done it and I didn't know till towards the very end who did it

listen to it nonstop to the very end

I love this series and listen to it on way to work! I am addicted!

Captivating!

I didn't like the narrator's voice reading of the male speech. The tone she used for Russ made me think of an old man, not a strong main character.
Listening to the story helped me form a better picture of the setting and characters after reading the printed version. Part of a great series.

Not a stand alone book.

This audio book was so full of action and deadly situations that I could barely keep up. I enjoyed this story, it was different from most mystery books.
