โMiller does an excellent job of portraying Amish life and its often conflicted relationship with mainstream culture.โโPublishers Weekly (starred review)
ย
When Rachel Mast returned to Stone Mill, Pennsylvania, she unwittingly became a bridge between the closed Amish community and the Englisher police. Now, as she prepares for her wedding, sheโs drawn into an investigation that could end in a different ceremonyโher funeral . . .
ย
Rachel didnโt know Daniel Fisher well, but it still comes as a shock when her fiancรฉ, a state trooper, tells her that the young Amish manโs death may not have been a hunting accident. The police believe he was murdered and they need Rachelโs help telling the family. But when she does, they donโt seem upset or even surprised. Even more unsettling, Danielโs brother-in-law confessesโwhile his mother begs Rachel to prove his innocence. But why would he give a false confession? Who is he trying to protect?
ย
As Rachelโs search for answers overshadows her wedding plans, rumors swirl that she might not show up at the altarโand that Daniel wasnโt as upstanding as he seemed. While the list of people who wanted him dead grows, Rachel is caught in the killerโs crosshairs, and if sheโs not careful, it may be more than her feet that turn cold . . .
ย
โ[Miller] continues her streak of successfully combining local color and detection.โโKirkus Reviews
