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.

    Among the Innocents is a twisty Amish thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Police officer Leah Miller is called to the scene of a murder that stirs up old wounds. Ten years ago her family was murdered in the same place, in the same manner and she was left for dead. A young man was accused and the case closed but now it seems the killer is back. Dalton accepted the police chief’s job to get closer to the case involving Leah’s family. His Amish brother was accused of the murder and he’s been trying to find out more about the case. When he meets Leah he feels an instant kinship with her. Somehow this killer seems to always be one step ahead of the police. He’s stealthily stalking Leah anticipating the tenth anniversary of her family’s murders. If he has an urge to kill before then, so be it. Nothing and no one will stop him from his ultimate goal. I loved that even though the story is hard there’s a strong thread of faith that flows through the story. Great book I happily recommend. I received a copy of this book through Interviews and Reviews via NetGalley courtesy of Baker Publishing Group with no obligation.

    She wasn’t ready to play the killer’s games again. Wow!! Do not expect to put this down and it might be better not to start it late in the day, as there will be no sleep if you do! The author has done a fabulous job of drawing the reader in and not letting you relax until the killer is caught, you hope. The Amish setting leads the reader to believe life is calm with most everyone living peaceably, only to find out that horror can enter their serene lives as well. Leah is the only survivor of the horrific murder of her parents and two siblings. After 10 years this atrocity still haunts her every waking hour. Will she ever be able to live without fear? One has to begin to wonder when another murder occurs. Has the killer returned? This ARC was received through Baker Publishing Group, Revell and NetGalley.
