3 by Julia Spencer Fleming

A Fountain Filled With Blood is the second mystery in the series about Episcopal Priest Clare Fergusson and police chief Russ Van Alstyne. This time out, Clare gets involved in investigating a series of attacks on closeted (and not so closeted) gays in her small upstate NY town.

Out of the Deep I Cry, the 3rd book in the series, is a bit of a time-shifting mystery. A buried secret from prohibition days is causing mayhem and murder in Millers Kill.

To Darkness and To Death, number 4 in the series, takes place on the day of big party in the new resort in Millers Kill. Greed, eco-warriors, family tensions, and a missing woman add confusion to the mix.

In each of the first 4 books, Clare and Russ have been fighting their growing attraction to each other--book 4 brings things to a head, as Russ decides to leave his wife to follow his heart to Clare.
