IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER

IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER by Julia Spencer-Fleming is one of the best first mystery novels out there. It's the first in the series, and a truly excellent read. I am almost finished with the third in the series, and I find while the style is completely different, the quality level is on par with Sue Grafton. I highly recommend this series, and I strongly suggest that you start with this, the first book.
