Chargement... Amish Outsider (River Haven)par Marta Perry
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() I have enjoyed this author’s reads, and this one is no exception, and once I turned the first page I was hooked and page-turning. We are given a young man whom was brought up Amish and having met an English girl, they decide to go where the grass is greener and embark on their new amazing life, only to have reality raise its head. Now this man has returned home to his roots and has brought his daughter, but will they be accepted back? Also, now there is a dark cloud of murder hanging over Michael head, how can he prove his innocence? What a great story and mystery we have here, you never see what is around the corner, and who will come to the aid of a missing man and child from their flock. Yes, answers come and surprises abound here, I never saw it coming! I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Harlequin, and was not required to give a positive review. “Amish Outsider” by Marta Perry features all the things I like in a novel: interesting characters (who have their flaws), light mystery, realistic plot, and a satisfying ending. This novel tells the story of a man who has left the Amish and is now returning with his child. I liked the idea that he was welcomed back into the family, and the story tells how this occurs. However, he brings with him problems and mysteries from his past that are solved in the course of the novel. This is a clean novel, without overt violence, sexual overtones, or unsavory language. There are evil and unscrupulous people in the novel, but all is worked out by the end. While this is a Christian novel, it is not preachy or overly religious. I really liked the realism of the characters. They were portrayed as authentic individuals, rather than as stereotypical Amish people. Being a former teacher, I appreciated the accurate portrayal of Cathy’s courage and quick action in the face of danger, and her determination to serve her scholars. The action moved the plot forward at a good pace, and I can truly say this was a novel I did not want to put down. I have read other novels by this author, but this is the first of her suspense novels. I hope it will not be the last! I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:The Amish of River Haven offer sanctuary and solace...even to those with a dangerous past. In the wake of his estranged wife's murder, widower Michael Forster returns to the Amish community he'd left as a teen. He wants a fresh start for himself and his daughter, Allie, away from those who still believe he's guilty. In River Haven, a quieter life seems possible. If only Allie's Amish schoolteacher, Catherine Brandt, was easier to ignore. A problem solver by nature, Cathy can tell Allie's withdrawn demeanor isn't due to shyness. But getting through to Allie also means breaching her father's hardened defenses. What starts as persistence soon grows into an attraction neither Cathy nor Michael saw coming. When the past suddenly threatens both his daughter and the woman he loves, Michael must risk everything to save them. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
