About The Book
When Leah Miller’s entire Amish family was murdered ten years ago, the person believed responsible took his own life. Since then, Leah left the Amish and joined the police force. Now, after another Amish woman is found murdered with the same MO, it becomes clear that the wrong man may have been blamed for her family’s deaths.
As Leah and the new police chief, Dalton Cooper, work long hours struggling to fit the pieces together in order to catch the killer, they can’t help but grow closer. When secrets from both of their pasts begin to surface, an unexpected connection between them is revealed. But this is only the beginning. Could it be that the former police chief framed an innocent man to keep the biggest secret of all buried? And what will it mean for Leah–and Dalton–when the full truth comes to light?
USA Today bestselling author Mary Alford keeps you guessing as two determined souls plumb the dark depths of the past in order to forge a brighter future–together.

My Review
The majority of young Amish women living at home lead a sheltered life. When they go through Rumspringa they are exposed to a lot of the things Englishers experience and some are led astray by these Englishers. Such as the case with Leah Miller, in over her head she feels excited to have an Englisher boyfriend and is happy to sneak out to see him at night.
Shortly after she starts seeing him her whole family is killed.
This Amish woman leaves the Amish faith and joins the police force seeking revenge.
When the killings start back up again after sometime Leah and her partner, police chief Dalton Cooper must prove without a doubt who the guilty party is.
After her family was killed Leah thought the murder was solved because the person that was blamed for the murders killed themselves. When innocent young Amish women start turning up dead again we know this isn’t the case and the killer is still among us.
As the book goes on we can see a pattern repeating itself so we have a good idea of who has done the killings.
The book is so hard to put down. I read it in less that 24 hours.
The suspense really grabbed my attention . Riveting, it kept me on the edge of my seat. I’ll admit to feeling uneasy a bit while reading this. The author does suspense very well.
Read it and find out the significance of the number ten.
If you’re just coasting through this book and I’m not sure how you could be doing that with all that’s going on there is a big reveal pretty close to the end that’ll give you a nice jolt.
Highly enjoyed and recommended!
