Among the Innocents is a twisty Amish thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Police officer Leah Miller is called to the scene of a murder that stirs up old wounds. Ten years ago her family was murdered in the same place, in the same manner and she was left for dead. A young man was accused and the case closed but now it seems the killer is back. Dalton accepted the police chief’s job to get closer to the case involving Leah’s family. His Amish brother was accused of the murder and he’s been trying to find out more about the case. When he meets Leah he feels an instant kinship with her. Somehow this killer seems to always be one step ahead of the police. He’s stealthily stalking Leah anticipating the tenth anniversary of her family’s murders. If he has an urge to kill before then, so be it. Nothing and no one will stop him from his ultimate goal. I loved that even though the story is hard there’s a strong thread of faith that flows through the story. Great book I happily recommend.

She wasn’t ready to play the killer’s games again. Wow!! Do not expect to put this down and it might be better not to start it late in the day, as there will be no sleep if you do! The author has done a fabulous job of drawing the reader in and not letting you relax until the killer is caught, you hope. The Amish setting leads the reader to believe life is calm with most everyone living peaceably, only to find out that horror can enter their serene lives as well. Leah is the only survivor of the horrific murder of her parents and two siblings. After 10 years this atrocity still haunts her every waking hour. Will she ever be able to live without fear? One has to begin to wonder when another murder occurs. Has the killer returned? This ARC was received through Baker Publishing Group, Revell and NetGalley.
