Found with the remains is half of a friendship bracelet last seen on Sadie Lehman, an Amish teen long believed to have left her strict upbringing for the allure of English ways.

Now Detective Jakob Fisher—once a member of the Amish community himself—is determined to solve the young woman’s murder. With Claire’s help, he must dig into the past and bring to light long-buried secrets—secrets that someone is willing to kill to protect...

Ratings and reviews

Another winner from Laura Bradford. Read this series from the beginning as it ties a lot of loose ends.

Pretty good read. The main characters love story was a little predictable but the mystery part was good.
