I Shall Not Want by Julia Spencer-Fleming

Episcopal priest Clare Fergusson is trying to get on with her life after her friendship (and possible relationship) with Millers Kill police chief Russ Van Alstyne was damaged in the last book in the series, All Mortal Flesh. Clare has recently rejoined the National Guard and agrees to aid nun Lucia Pirone to provide help to the migrant workers in the area. Clare's volunteerism soon leads her into trouble when she consents to house one of the workers and dead bodies begin to pile up. Are these illegal aliens involved in drug-running or are they caught in the crossfire? Because of the crimes, Clare's and Russ's paths cross frequently. Will they be able to solve the problems between them before it's too late? Spencer-Fleming writes another enjoyable mystery. The character of Hadley Knox, a new addition to the Millers Kill Police Department, is a nice touch.
