Rachel Mast and her cousin, Mary Aaron along with a bunch
of other
Amish girls, are taking a refreshing swim in a quarry
pool when they
discover the body of Beth Glick, a young Amish woman who
was shunned
by the community two years earlier. So why is she wearing
traditional
Amish clothing? PLAIN KILLING is filled with mystery and
suspense. It is
going to pull you right in and never let you go until the
very last page.
The Amish community closes ranks and refuses to
communicate with
police. They do not believe in revenge. They believe in
forgiveness.
Rachel steps in to help her boyfriend detective Evan Park
to find out why
Beth was killed and by whom. Rachel used to be Amish but
before she
was baptized she left to become English. She came back
three years ago
to open a bed and breakfast in her home town. Because she
left before
she was baptized she was not shunned and for the most
part, is welcome
among the Amish.
Following a few leads, Rachel and Mary Aaron find
themselves in New
Orleans. It is funny when one of the waitresses asks Mary
Aaron if she is
from the show Breaking Amish and wants her autograph.
Mary Aaron
insists on staying in her Amish clothing which is only
drawing attention to
herself. As they dig deeper into the secrets of the Amish
community and in
particular the Glick family, the horrors only deepen.
Would they discover
who the killer was? Was there a link to the other young
people who left their
community?
PLAIN KILLING has twists and turns that I was totally not
expecting. Most
times, you can guess what is going to happen or at least
have some
semblance of an idea in these types of books. Not with
this one. Just when
you think you have it figured out who the "bad guy" is,
something else
happens to throw you off course. The ending was
phenomenal. The
murderer was a total shock to me and It was someone I so
did not want it
to be. Very emotional and engaging. I would rate PLAIN
KILLING a real page
turner!
When the Amish community of Stone Mill, Pennsylvania, refuses to discuss a murder with the police, it's up to Rachel Mast to bridge the cultural gap and stop a killer from striking again. . . While swimming in a local quarry, Rachel and her cousin Mary Aaron discover the body of an Amish girl, fully clothed in her white bonnet, floating face down in the water. The drowned young woman, Beth Glick, had left Stone Mill and her Old Order Amish life a year ago, causing her to be shunned by her family and her people. But if Beth had joined the English world, why was she found dressed in Amish clothing and strangled? Rachel's boyfriend, police detective Evan Park, is getting nowhere with questioning Beth's family. He's also troubled over the fate of three other Amish girls who left Stone Mill in the last two years. As someone who gave up the Plain lifestyle herself then returned to operate a B&B, Rachel is able to use her ties to the community to learn more about the missing girls. But when her search eventually leads to the dark underbelly of the secular world, Rachel finds her own life in dire jeopardy. . .
