Suspendered Sentence

Description for SUSPENDERED SENTENCE by Laura Bradford:

The national bestselling author of SHUNNED AND DANGEROUS returns to the Amish community of Heavenly, Pennsylvania, where shop owner Claire Weatherly has come to appreciate a simpler, more peaceful way of life. But dark secrets are about to complicate things -- and lead to murder…

After the Stoltzfus barn catches fire, Claire is awed by the response of the community. Hundreds of Amish men gather together to raise a new barn for the family in a matter of days. But in the midst of the work, a human skeleton is unearthed. Found with the remains is half of a friendship bracelet last seen on Sadie Lehman, an Amish teen long believed to have left her strict upbringing for the allure of English ways.

Now Detective Jakob Fisher -- once a member of the Amish community himself -- is determined to solve the young woman’s murder. With Claire’s help, he must dig into the past and bring to light long-buried secrets -- secrets that someone is willing to kill to protect…

This is #4 in An Amish Mystery.
