Another cozy mystery with sparks flying between the newly widowed Police Chief Russ Van Alstyne and Reverend Clare Fergusson. Clare always manages to turn up at the most inopportune times, putting herself in the middle of an investigation or conflict. This novel deals with the timely topic of illegal immigrants to the US, hired to do farm labour for a reduced wage. Russ' sister and his brother-in-law are also involved as their dairy farm is in financial trouble. Drugs, torture, and illegals make for a suspenceful read.
