I received a copy of this book from the Publisher and NetGalley. I typically won't read faith based novels but my interest in the Amish community and way of life supersedes that rule. Unfortunately I had a difficult time reading this novel and not even the Amish characters and setting could save it for me. 
 I was intrigued by the idea of a murder in an Amish village. The book started off great, right in the middle of the action with the discovery of Owen's body. I got to about 30% in, however, and I had been introduced to so many characters, so many subplots and so many Amish sayings (oddly italicized, and thanks for the glossary but I wasn't flipping back to the beginning every time I couldn't guess what something meant) that my head was spinning. 
 I admit, I just wanted to know what happened so I skimmed much of it and read the last few chapters. I was happy to see Jesse and Hannah finalize their story line and Mary and Andrew discover something wonderful. 
 I had a hard time differentiating who was Amish and who wasn't, mostly because this book was so full of modern conveniences... mobile phones and cars and cableTV and internet. It threw me off and made the story less realistic to me. 
 I opted not to rate this novel and am providing this review for NetGalley feedback purposes.
