Great, cannot wait for the next book in Serenity ‘s plain secrets book.
School shooting. Serenity is planning her wedding, which she isn’t sure about, trying on a dress when it happens. She shoots the shooter and he falls to his death. The rest of the book is her trying to find out why he became a shooter.
La série est passionnante. Mises en scène dans le milieu Amish, les enquêtes menées par le sheriff Serenity sont violentes, crues, et exposent une réalité beaucop plus sombre que l’apparence lisse d’une communauté “exotique”. Le
personnage central est attachant dans ses contradictions et ses angoisses. Seul bémol: l’idée de mener deux récits parallèles en laissant parler deux narrateurs (Serenity et sa nièce Taylor) n’est pas toujours parfaitement maîtrisé. Mais l’ensemble est toujours de grande qualité.
I find the sheriff who is “English” but understands and respects the Amish to be an interesting read.
