I received this book for free from Berkley Prime Crime in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I love crime investigation novels in general. And the fact that the crime happened in an Amish area just made the book all that more interesting. You can tell the author did a lot of research into customs and way of life. But it was never an info-dump or over the top.
I really liked Elizabeth as a character, and her boss Grady was the perfect partner. I liked how she had faults as well as strengths. And each clue they found (whether wrong or right) gave you more insight to the people and community as well as the inner workings of how a police investigation works.
Ezra was my next favorite character. He was funny, but not in the usual ways funny characters are written. He was also vulnerable and unsure of himself in some situations.
I had a few ideas as to who the killer was. And while none of them were correct, I could totally see it as believable once we found out who it was. I will most definitely be getting the next book in this series once it's out.
