Through the Evil Days by Julia Spencer-Fleming
5.0
I highly recommend this latest installment in the Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne series. Picking up where "One Was a Soldier" ended, Clare and Russ are still trying to come to grips with her pregnancy. Her job is threatened because of it; their marriage is threatened because of Russ's feelings about it; and the pregnancy itself is threatened because of events which take place on their honeymoon.
Julia Spencer-Fleming manages to weave together the pregnancy story line with a compelling saga involving a kidnapped girl who has had a liver transplant and may be without her immunosuppresant medications, a drug lord's efforts to eliminate anyone who might testify against him, Hadley Knox and Kevin Flynn's rekindling romance, Hadley's run-in with her ex from California who wants to take their kids back with him, and the ice storm of the century. All of these events take place within one week's time, making for a very fast-paced read.
While it's not as important to read the other books in the series as it is with previous books, I would still recommend that they be read in order. If that's not possible, read this one first and then go back and catch up on the others.
