Among The Innocent by Mary Alford

This book had me reading in the wee hours.  It was so good.  It was VERY suspenseful, a total nail-biting experience! Former Amish Leah, witnessed the death of her entire family.  10 years later she is a member of the police force and working under the new chief, Dalton.  They work together to find who is again following the same MO of the murders of Leah's family.  

There is non-stop action, lots of unsolved crimes and a fearful Amish community as the killer continues his crime spree.  The killer is after Leah and is relentless in tormenting her. There is a little romance here, too, so not only suspense to keep your interest going.  Leah's character is well developed by the author and you become so engaged with the plot you won't be putting it down for too long. You are going to love this one!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and was not required to give a positive review.  All thoughts are my own.  

Snowbound Amish Survival by Mary Alford

This book is so full of suspense.  It totally leaves you on the edge of your seat as it tells its tale.  It is so riveting!  Hope and Naomi find themselves in danger and that danger is relentless on finding her.  There seems to be no escaping the attackers and no safe place to run to.  

Wow, this book took my breath away.  It's an absolute page turner, and you won't be able to turn the pages fast enough to see what happens next.

I love a real mystery and suspense and with a little bit of romance edging its way into the situation. 

This is a book that doesn't disappoint and never has a dull moment.  I highly recommend it!

Softly Blows the Bugle by Jan Drexler

Every now and then I read a book that just takes my breath away.  This book was one of those.  Oh my, this was a late night reading book because I absolutely could not put it down.  And as much as I wanted to find what happens, at the same time I never wanted it to end!  It was THAT GOOD!   

I am not going to "re-write" the book in this review, because you can read the book blurb.  I am going to say it was excellent. This author has moved right up the ranks of my favorite writers!  It was a historical suspense and romance with twists and turns that just surprised me.  There was not a dull moment in this exciting historical Amish fiction.

The characters were captivating, including the bad guy!  The writing was believable and held my interest throughout.  I could easily picture myself in the settings of the book and the time period.  The excellent writing would make a great movie!
