Fiction. Literature. Mystery. HTML:

A woman who left the Amish community long ago returns to Pennsylvaniaâ??and finds herself negotiating between her people and the police...

In this unique mystery debut, a shallow grave is found on a Pennsylvania farm, and one woman straddling the Amish and outside worlds must uncover a killerâ??and create a life on her own terms...
Fifteen years after leaving her Old Order Amish life, Rachel Mast has returned to Stone Mill, Pennsylvania. Corporate success didn't bring true happiness, but Rachel also knows she can never be Amish again. Instead she runs a B&B and tries to help her community in ways they can't help themselves.
But now a gruesome discovery has been made on her Uncle Aaron's cow pastureâ??the body of prominent Englisher businessman Willy O'Day. Aaron refuses to hire a lawyer, trusting his innocence, and his faith, to see him through. Rachel isn't so sure, especially given the long public feud between the two men. Her relatives won't speak to the police, but they will talk to Rachelâ??if she puts on a skirt and bonnet. Rachel knows emotions and entanglements run as complicated in the Amish world as outside it. But as she delves deeper to clear Aaron's name, she discovers secrets that put her own life in danger...

"Rachel's struggle to reconcile her traditional upbringing and 'Englisher' lifestyle provides this whodunit with its most intriguing element."â??Publishers

Fifteen years ago, Rachel Mast left her Amish home for a different lifestyle. She has returned to the town where she grew up, but not as a member of the Amish community. Not having been baptized, she is not shunned, but not exactly welcomed with open arms, either. When her uncle is arrested, Rachel must prove his innocence to the police, without her uncle’s help. Being Amish, he places his trust solely in God and will do or say nothing in his own defense. Author Emma Miller does an excellent job of portraying a woman formally Amish but still feeling her roots, who is living in the English world but wishing for some of the Amish ways. Her conflicted feelings come across loud and clear, as she really does not feel at home in either world. A well-crafted mystery with well-developed characters. ( )

A little slow setting up the world, but I like the people. She doesn't write caricatures. ( )

I enjoyed this murder mystery that brought together the Amish and what they call "English," as Rachel who left the religion before baptism has returned to the town her family lives in. A man is killed and her uncle is suspect because the body is found in his field. She alternates her time between running her B & B and trying to find out who really killed the guy. I knew who did it because I had read the author's next book, but it didn't take away the enjoyment of getting to know the characters better. I hope she writes more books in this series. ( )
