Book Description:
When Leah Miller's entire Amish family was murdered ten years ago, the person
believed responsible took his own life. Since then, Leah left the Amish and
joined the police force. Now, after another Amish woman is found murdered with
the same MO, it becomes clear that the wrong man may have been blamed for her
family's deaths.
As Leah and the new police chief, Dalton Cooper, work long hours struggling to
fit the pieces together in order to catch the killer, they can't help but grow
closer. When secrets from both of their pasts begin to surface, an unexpected
connection between them is revealed. But this is only the beginning. Could it
be that the former police chief framed an innocent man to keep the biggest
secret of all buried? And what will it mean for Leah--and Dalton--when the full
truth comes to light?
USA Today bestselling author Mary Alford keeps you guessing as two
determined souls plumb the dark depths of the past in order to forge a brighter
future--together.
My Thoughts:
If you like the television show, Criminal Minds, you would enjoy Among the
Innocent. From my viewpoint, the book has too much graphic violence, and I
struggled with being in the protagonist's point of view because he is so
deranged, however, the story line is interesting and compelling, and the faith
thread is strong. I finished reading the story because I wanted to know what
happened to Leah and Dalton. The emotion Alford writes into her characters goes deep and the story line intense. If you enjoy feverishly suspenseful stories with
romance, this may be the book for you. I received a complimentary copy of this
book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
