Did she run away? Has she been kidnapped? Or worse?
Detective Benuel Miller has solved other crimes. But when his eleven-year-old daughter, Susanna, doesn’t come home after school one day, and her pony cart returns without her, he’s baffled.
After Susanna’s mamm died five years ago, Benuel and his daughter worked as a tight-knit team. She served as his eyes, his driver, and his partner in solving crimes. Now, though, Benuel has remarried, and Susanna’s stepmother, Mari, has taken over those roles.
Although Mari tries to include her, Susanna can’t help feeling left out. When she disappears, Mari fears her stepdaughter has run away. Benuel and Mari search for clues, but Susanna has disappeared without a trace .
For Susanna, the nightmare has only begun.
Can she find a way to escape? Or will she end up dead?
Boy, I couldn’t put this book down. It wasn’t what I expected to read at all. and, while I was reading it this morning, 2 Amish horse and buggies went past on the road (for real). I never would have guessed that it would be something like this. I don’t want to share the excitement with those who haven’t read it. They need to read it for themselves and be surprised like I was!
I always have liked Amish books and mystery books. This book is a clever mix of the two. Well written and descriptive well so I could picture the characters and surroundings. I would definitely read more from this author.
This was a quick read and I really enjoyed this story. An amish daughter not really being a fan of his father’s wife after her mother’s death. As she plans to run away but is abducted by English bad guys. It’s a happy ending where she is happy to have made it back home alive. A good story.
