About this ebook

Rachel Hurst sacrificed the life she wanted to stay home and care for her father and siblings after her mother’s death. But now her father has decided to remarry, and there’s no room for Rachel. Desperate to find a job, she accepts the position of housekeeper for a wealthy elderly woman in her isolated mansion.

Jacob Beiler thought he had gotten over Rachel’s rejection, but when she arrives as the new housekeeper, he is battered by both joy and bitterness at seeing her again.

When odd near accidents threaten the elderly woman’s well-being, her relatives are quick to point fingers, but Rachel suspects someone is intent on harming her employer. When no one believes her, the only person she can turn to for help is Jacob. With danger deepening, Rachel faces a situation that could cost her life…and will certainly break her heart once again.

Amish Secrets by Marta Perry is the third book in the River Haven series. It can be read as a standalone for those new to the series or if you missed a book. I do wish that we could have seen or received updates on the characters from the previous two books. I thought Amish Secrets was well-written with developed characters. I liked the storyline that contained mystery, suspense, and romance. The characters were developed and realistic. I enjoyed the feisty Geraldine Withers. She needed to be to put up with her family. Holly, Geraldine’s great-niece, added lightness and humor to the story. I believe she will grow up to be like Geraldine. The mystery was interesting. There were a variety of suspects who could be behind the misdeeds. I did feel that there some unanswered questions at the end that I would have liked resolve, but I did enjoy reading Amish Secrets. I stayed up late to finish because I wanted to see if I correctly identified the evildoer. Amish Secrets has a good ending. Amish Secrets is an intriguing and suspenseful tale with irregular incidents, a troubled tween, an unfriendly family, missing memories, and romantic reflections.

I felt for Rachel right from the beginning, it appears that she has sacrificed her life, and now? Then there is her former fiancé Jacob, who is now working as a carpenter at the home of her mother's former employer, and now she is about to embark on the same job. The employer an elderly woman, but with a lot of spunk, has now taken on a hurting teenager, and danger is lurking! As with the previous books in this series, you won't see what is coming, and there are a lot of surprises here. I loved the outcome, really not what I was expecting, and this can be read alone! I received this book through Edelweiss and the Publisher Harlequin, and was not required to give a positive review.
