Some Amish Communities aren't so cozy.

Whispers From The Dead is the powerful and thrilling sequel to Lamb to the Slaughter in the Amish mystery series, Serenity's Plain Secrets. Sheriff Serenity Adams and Daniel Bachman are once again partnered up in a criminal investigation, when they travel to a northern Amish settlement that has been riddled by arsons for the past two decades. Serenity quickly discovers that there is a lot more going on than barn burnings in the touristy community of Poplar Springs. This group of Amish has their own secrets to hide.

Serenity begins to unravel an extensive criminal underworld that threatens to destroy everything that the simple people of Poplar Springs hold dear, and once again puts her own life in jeopardy. And even though Serenity tries desperately to avoid it, things begin heating up between her and Daniel, making her wonder if true love and happiness are really within her grasp.

Good Read

A lot of reviewers commented on the grammar, editing and misuse of words. I am one of those readers who really don't pay too much attention to that as long as I know what was meant. Unless it is horrendously bad to the point you cannot read the story, I tend to overlook and not nit-pick. All in all the story was good and kept me interested and reading. I feel as if some of it was a little over the top at times and the story had twists and turns to the point at the end of the story, I am still not too sure who did what. My knowledge of the Amish is limited, at best, but I felt like some of the occurrences were not too likely, but as stated, my knowledge is limited to spending time around them when I was in Pennsylvania. There are 21 books in this series, so I don't think I can read them just one right after another. Will have to take a break and read other genres in between. However, I have enjoyed the first two installments so will definitely read all of them.
