AMISH BLAST INVESTIGATION

 

By Debby Giusti

I'm excited to be with you in Seekerville today, and I'm eager to tell you about my June release from Love Inspired Suspense. You've probably seen the blurb on the weekend edition and some of you may have already ordered the book. If so, thank you! I'm grateful for your support.

A deadly explosion.
A dangerous search for the truth.

After an explosion rocks Becca Klein’s bakery and kills one of her customers, she teams up with the victim’s son to find justice. Though estranged from his father, Englischer Luke Snyder is compelled to help the Amish woman uncover why his father died. But ruthless killers believe Luke’s father gave Becca something they want, and they’ll stop at nothing to get it. Can Luke keep Becca safe until they discover the truth?

Pre-Order HERE!
I mixed a lot of elements into the book that I hope you'll find to your liking. Becca Klein, my Amish heroine, has never strayed far from her plain community, yet she's filled with  wanderlust. Becca works at Zook's Bakery and has formed a deep friendship with an elderly Englischer who enjoys the jelly-filled donuts she makes. He compliments her sweetness and affirms her baking ability. His kind words stir a yearning in her heart to see what the outside world is like.
I'm sure you can tell what happens next from the cover and title! An explosion occurs and the elderly customer is killed but not before he gives Becca his Bible and asks her to contact his estranged son if something untoward happens to him.
Of course, you know who the son turns out to be. He's Luke Snyder, the hero who hasn't seen his father since he was ten years old. Luke carries memories of a bigger-than-life dad, but those thoughts are tempered by feelings of being abandoned and unloved. Because of that hurt in his past, Luke wants to disavow anything concerning his dad. Becca paints a different picture of his father and encourages Luke to find out the truth about the kind man who had become her friend.
I've added an adorable beagle puppy named Sadie, a gated scientific community, and information Becca and Luke need to uncover as they search for clues about Luke's dad.
The story is dedicated to Carol Rose, a woman with a huge heart who cares for the aged and infirm in my local community. It's brings me great joy to recognize this lovely woman who does so much for so many.
I've given you a tease about the story that, I hope, has made you want to learn more about Becca and Luke's journey.
