Secrets in the Grave

170+ rave reviews for this story about the intertwining lives of unlikely members of an Indiana Amish community!Praise for Lamb to the Slaughter, book one of Serenity’s Plain Secrets: “A well-crafted tale of murder begotten by the collision two incompatible worlds…” –Kirkus ReviewJust when Sheriff Serenity Adams thinks life is getting back to normal, the death of a young, pregnant Amish woman … pregnant Amish woman rocks the community. Is it circumstance…or murder? It’s up to Serenity and her ex-Amish boyfriend, Daniel Bachman, to discover the truth about the new shaman-type medicine man who’s brought his dark secrets to Blood Rock.

But Serenity has secrets of her own, and if she and Daniel don’t work it out, the reappearance of a woman from his past could threaten to ruin their relationship.
