Dark Harvest

Karen Harper is a great writer and she treats the Amish people with dignity and respect in her stories. I would recommend this to someone who would like to get lost in a good story.

A must read!!!!

I just finished this book, the second one in the Maplecreek Trilogy. I CAN'T wait to start the next (and unfortunately the last) "Dark Angel". These books are so great. I couldn't put either one of them down once I started to read them. I just love Karen Harper as a writer. I wish she would write more about the amazing "Plain People" of Maplecreek. I felt like one of them while reading the first two books...

Very Good!

What a great read this was, extremely suspenseful, amazing how some authors can write such awesome books and you don't even miss the sex and language. Thank you!!

Awesome Book!

Karen Harper's DARK HARVEST is a super well written suspense novel about hate crimes (based loosley on actual occurences) against the Amish in rural Ohio. The reader "follows" the heroine, an ex-cop, into the lives of the Amish that are being terrorized by someone that wants them to leave, no matter the cost. This is a can't-put-down book. You will really care about the characters in the book and feel like you "know" them. Atmospheric, super believable characters- BUY DARK HARVEST, you won't regret it.

An excellent mystery/romance

This book was a delight to read. I know a little about the Amish people but not a whole lot. This book was actually educational. I didn't know if I would like it because it seemed far fetched that there would be romance between an English woman and an Amish man, but it just goes to show that you can't help who you fall for. There were lots of characters who could have done it and the mystery was hard to figure out. It seemed like some of the events were pretty random and thrown in there for confusion but all in all well done without being over the top. The romance was sweet, and I really liked the kids. I am not a "kids" kind of person so it was refreshing when I actually cared about what happened to them. All in all, definitely one I would recommend.
