A deadly undercover assignment…
in the Amish community she left behind.
After a woman in witness protection disappears from Kate
Bontrager's Amish hometown, the now Englisch police officer goes undercover --
and enters a killer's sights. Partnering with Abram Burkholder, the man she'd
hoped to marry nearly a decade ago, is the only way to solve the case. But can
they face the past and heal their still damaged hearts…before they both end up
dead?
Excellent book that had me hooked from start to finish. Kate
is a formerly Amish woman who left her community after a horrific attack and no
support from her parents. She got a job and eventually became a police officer.
Her world is turned upside down when her chief asks her to go undercover back
in her hometown, investigating the disappearance of a woman in witness
protection. She's stunned when one of the first people she encounters is Abram,
the man she loved all those years ago.
Abram never forgot his "Katie," who disappeared
with no word almost ten years earlier. The last thing he expected was to find
her carrying a gun and investigating a missing person. When asked to help, he
can't refuse, and as danger looms vows to keep her safe.
I enjoyed seeing Kate and Abram find their way back to
each other. When Kate fled the Amish community, she believed that Abram would
feel the same way her parents did. In addition to losing her home, she also
lost her faith. Seeing Abram again stirred up her memories and her feelings, but
nothing could be done about them. She's Englisch now, with a completely
different life. Though happy to see her again, Abram realizes that he can't ask
her to give up her new life. But the more time they spend together, the more
their old feelings rekindle and grow. As the dangers stirred up by her
investigation intensify, Abram's protectiveness increases. I loved Abram's
support when he found out why she left. I ached for Kate, who believed she
couldn't go home again, and Abram, who knew he couldn't leave his faith for
her. When the case ended, and they went their separate ways, both had some
serious thinking to do. I loved the ending, which had a nice bit of timing for
Abram's big moment. The epilogue was fantastic.
The suspense of the story kept me glued to the pages from
start to finish. The disappearance of Bailey/Beth raised questions of whether
it was foul play or by choice. Someone is determined that Kate's investigation
goes nowhere, as she endures attacks at every turn. Unexpected twists reveal previously
unknown players in the exposed trafficking ring. As Kate and Abram put the
clues together, finding Beth becomes a race against time. A nail-biting final
confrontation provided an exciting and satisfying resolution.
