My Thoughts
This novel is a great mix of suspense-filled murder and glimpses into the Amish community—a unique combination that I do not read often! The plot captured my attention from the prologue and I had a really hard time putting it down, reading late into the night on more than one occasion. I thought I had figured out the villain and then suddenly there was an unexpected twist! I also liked that the author took time to develop her characters; I liked how Leah had to face her past to grow and mature and Dalton is the perfect blend of handsome looks and sensitive compassion. The faith aspect is a little light, however, I liked the spiritual elements that were tied in and the novel is definitely clean. I really enjoyed reading this book and I am looking forward for more from this talented author! Recommended!
