Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not very interesting, really.....
Review: I gave up on this one about half-way through it, a rare occurrence for me. I just decided I didn't really care who did it or why. To me, it reads more like a potential made-for-TV script. No background or motivational stuff going on here, just some characters with some thin dialogue. Honestly thought I would really enjoy it for the Amish setting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Gaus!
Review: I hope Paul Gaus continues on with his Amish work. I am a fan of Amish Lit. and mystery. I have read many books before about the Amish and "their ways" by people who claim to be experts. They are not, but Mr. Gaus is. Right from the begining to the last page, his detail and knowledge, entangled with suspense and intrigue will make you too, a Gaus reader for life. His story lines and characters are easy to follow, and you will not put it down until you are finished.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's OKay
Review: I wasn't too crazy about this book.Maybe it's becaouse I've read so many books about the Amish. That this wasn't really all that great.I felt like the writter could have told us more about the characters then he was letting us know.
Not a favorite but good for some one who has just started to read Amish Fiction books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Gaus!
Review: Okay, I am biased. I grew up 20 minutes from where most of the story takes place and I like to read about home. However there is still a good mystery here. Even better is the fact that the ending is not entirely predictable. Gaus throws in enough twists that you might have to re-read the last 10 pages just to be sure that you figured it out correctly.

The characters are likable, believable and Gaus works at developing them. No one is going to confuse Gaus with Agatha Christie, but this series is certainly as well written as Grisham.
