Gripping Amish Mystery Novel

MY, what a wonderful book! First time I had read any of Karen Harper's novels. I could NOT put it down, it is so gripping. So glad that I had purchased all 3 of the series at one time. Although, it was complete and didn't leave you hanging till the next book. I am now looking for more of Karen's Amish novels. Thank you so much for the wonderful book, keep up the wonderful writing. GOD BLESS.

Loved this book!!

This book had me from the very first page. I had trouble putting it down and read it in 2 days. I thought it was very well written and found the references to the Amish very interesting. I highly recommend this book.

Good informative entertainment.

Karen Harper seldom disappoints and this book was no exception. The story was interesting and the Amish connection was informative as well. Daniel and Brooke seemed like a "real" couple and Daniel's torment about his "Amishness" was realistically portrayed. I look forward to reading EMPTY CRADLE, which is waiting on my shelf.

Mystery and romance in Amish country!

A great story! Mystery, romance and adventure--in a quiet Amish community? Yes! Yes! A lady lawyer leaves the big city seeking safety from a stalker for herself and her young niece. They come to Maplecreek to operate a friend's quilt shop. The peaceful community is disrupted when four young Amish are killed by a mysterious hit and run driver. The lawyer-in-hiding feels compelled to find the killer of her young friends. Meanwhile an uneasy relationship is building between the worldly lawyer and a 'plain' man who has returned from life outside to commit himself to the Amish ways. The author pieces together her story like a fine Amish quilt and keeps the reader guessing until the end. The characters are very well developed and believable and I look forward to reading more from Ms Harper
