Claire Weatherly and her police
detective suitor Jakob Fisher are spending more time together
in their small town of Heavenly, Pennsylvania. With a lot
of effort and patience, the two are starting to make some
headway with the Amish members of Jakob’s family. The
family had shunned him when he went out into the world and
became a law enforcement official.
Jakob’s mentor Russ Granger, who is a retired police
chief, comes back to Heavenly and it doesn’t take long
before he is brutally murdered. A grief-stricken Jakob believes
the killer must be from outside of the Amish community. As
Jakob vows to find the fiend and bring them justice, and with
Claire by his side, they learn that even the most heavenly
of a town harbors dark and unexpected secrets.
It was a long time between the last book and this one and
it was so good to return to Claire’s world and to the
pace and lifestyle that are uniquely Amish. I’ve long
been a fan of Laura Bradford and highly recommend this latest
entry in the Amish Mystery series. It is fine as a stand-alone
but even better if you read the whole series. I truly enjoyed
everything about this book and the most welcome return of
the series.
