Among the Innocent by Mary Alford

 

About the Book:

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 Review: 

This is the first book I have read from Ms. Alford, and it will not be the last. She is now on my favorite authors list. This well-crafted tale immerses the reader on a roller-coaster ride from the word, "Go!" and doesn't let up until the end. Every twist, turn, and hairpin curve intricately weave the plot together leaving the reader breathless! Warning: this book will leave you sleep-deprived!

I voluntarily received a complimentary copy from the Revell. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
