Rating: Summary: Everyone is a suspect! Review: At least one time in the book, the author makes the reader suspect every character! I do not recommend books to friends very often, but this one is making the rounds at work! And everyone is saying the same thing....everyone could be the suspect!
Rating: Summary: Down To The Bone Review: Down To The Bone was a great story, I couldn't put the book down. It was a very intreasting story and I loved it.
Rating: Summary: Research is needed Review: First off, I enjoyed the book. However (you knew that was coming), I wish Ms Harper had done a better job of research on the Amish and their lifestyle. I'm not an expert on the Amish myself, but I do know that Percheron horses are black or gray in color. Every time I started to really get into the book, the author would refer to the team of Percherons as blond. OK, I know that's not really important, but she did it over and over and over and each time I read that misinformation I got distracted from the story itself. Maybe we need some copy editors that live outside the city to read books and do some corrections; or authors that take the time to do more research.
Rating: Summary: "An Amish Suspense Novel" Review: I could not put this book down! Every page was full of excitement and entertainment. I enjoy reading novels about the Amish, but this is my favorite. I packed this book for our out of town visit to my parents. I did not have time to finsh the book during the weekend visit. We were traveling home and my 10 year old son read the last few chapters out loud to me while I drove. I could not wait to get home to read it! He became interested in the story as he read it to me, and we discussed the entire book when he finshed. Thanks for a great book!

Rating: Summary: Best Suspense Review: I enjoyed reading this book and learning about the Amish life styles and beliefs. A good whodunit that won't disappoint even the most toughest critics. A story of a widowed mother of twins whose husband had died in a freak accident. Was it an accident? If not who and why would someone want to kill an amish man. Too many characters to choose from. Good sideline romance thrown into the pages as well. Read and enjoy.

Rating: Summary: Research is needed Review: If you like a mystery with cultural interest and a little romance thrown in, this is it. "Down to the Bone" had me guessing who-done-it the entire way through. I thought it was very well written and so interesting to learn about the culture of the Amish community.
Rating: Summary: The best book I have read in a long long time!! Review: This book was incredible, once I started reading it I could not put it down. I am casual reader and it usually takes me a week or more to finish a book, with this one I started it yesterday afternoon, read until I couldnt keep my eyes open for another second, went to bed, got up and immediatly picked up the book and could not put it down til it was finished. Karen Harper has a way of drawing you into this book in a way that you cant wait til you get to the end to see what happens but then are disappointed that it is over once you do get there. Wonderful!!
Rating: Summary: Great Book! Karen Harper never disappoints me! Review: This was another great book by Karen Harper. I am so glad that I didn't let a C- review which I read at an online review site sway me. I would give this book a solid A! It has wonderful writing about the world of the Amish and an Amish woman named Rachel who has lost her husband to a tragic accident. She is left alone with her two twin sons. I don't want to give to much away, but Rachel's world is turned upside down and she turns to a "English" ie. non-amish man for help. There is romance and suspense and so much more to love about this book. Bravo Ms. Harper! You did it again!
