And I was SUPPOSED to read the prologue-chapter 6 for tomorrow. So I'm supposed to be reading this for an online book club. Excuse me for a moment while my heart stops pounding. It was a quick read for me that I very much enjoyed. If you are looking for a romantic suspense to take along to the pool or beach (or even the back porch), I recommend Among The Innocent. He lives out his faith in a natural way that drew Leah in. Leah lost her connection with God when she left the Amish, but Dalton expresses the importance of faith. Not sure either of them would have been involved in real life, but I liked their interactions and their budding relationship. Dalton Cooper, the new police chief also is personally invested in the case. Leah is a vulnerable character, yet is determined to find justice for her family. While not an Amish novel, it was interesting to see the interplay between the Englisch and the Amish in this tough situation. Within the small community is a group of Amish, and they are the first ones targeted, hence the title. The case is a puzzler that had me and the characters seemingly one step behind the killer. The murders, while gruesome, are not depicted in an overly graphic manner by Alford, but there is blood - just an FYI for the squeamish. Leah, now a police officer, joins forces with the new police chief, to discover if there’s a copycat or the murderer has in fact returned. Now nearing the anniversary of the horror, young women are found killed in the same manner. The small Idaho town where Leah Miller lives was devastated by the events 10 years in the past when Leah was the sole survivor of the murder of her family. Among The Innocent is a fast-paced romantic suspense novel that left me guessing.
