Like it says, it's OK. I'm beginning to really not like 'just OK' books. I'm finding too many of them ( )

I liked this book. It's one of those books that is more of a meal not just a snack. I feel full after reading this. The portrait of the Amish was very detailed. I thought it was balanced and well rounded. The mystery element was not the strongest ever but was pretty good. The romance between the English Brooke and the Amish Daniel was not real intense. If the book lacks anything, it is in Daniel's decision not to take his vow to be Amish. His love for Brooke came out of nowhere for me. Perhaps because we saw very little from Daniel's POV and thus knew very little about his internal struggle over finally turning away from his heritage for an outsider woman. I liked it but it wasn't written as intensly as other portions of the book for example Emma's mental problems after Katie's loss. But I didn't really mind the lack luster romance because the rest of the book was so fulfilling. ( )

I could have done without the stilted romance, but I thought the mystery was well rendered and kept me guessing. I also liked the fact that there were multiple plot lines going on simultaneously. The descriptions of Amish life and customs intrigued me. ( )

To read, but the average rating on this book is a 4. After I read it I will return and write a REAL review! ( )
