even her life.

Eve Lantz’s life takes a deadly shift when her return home after her brother’s sudden death is met with gunfire from an unknown assailant. Still haunted by her father’s unsolved murder, Eve is determined to uncover the truth behind the tragedies surrounding her family. Joining forces with her childhood friend, Assistant Police Chief Casey Masterson, she plunges into a dangerous investigation.

My Thoughts

Clear your schedule before opening Secrets in Amish Country by Mary Alford—this gripping story is difficult to put down! Another tragedy strikes Eve Lantz’s family, bringing her and Casey Masterson together once again. I enjoyed following the pair as they battled danger, uncovered clues, and fought to keep Eve’s family safe. The action-packed plot delivers plenty of suspense, intriguing twists, and a satisfying conclusion that neatly ties the threads together. Faith is woven naturally throughout the story, with forgiveness at its heart. Even as Eve and Casey dodge bullets and bad guys, sparks fly between them, adding a sweet second-chance romance to the excitement. With danger, faith, and romance on every page, this Amish-country suspense is one thrilling ride!
