Chapman
has crafted a novel that shows how Amish and “English” form
friendships and work together. The plot is woven around a murder. The
bishop of the local Amish community had tried to be a friend to a young woman, new in the nearby town. I liked his compassion for her, knowing she was troubled
by something. But when he finds her body, he is accused of the
murder. I liked how the community, both Amish and “English”
friends, come to his aid, determined to find the real killer.
I
really appreciate that Chapman has portrayed the Amish community in
what seems to me to be a realistic way. I like that she has added
some humor to the story too. Her research into the local scenery and the
migratory birds was informative as well.
I
recommend this mystery to readers who appreciate a well plotted one.
You'll learn how people in a small Amish community relate to the
“English” too.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
