She left the Amish to become a police officer, but she never thought her most difficult case would be in her former community.
Detective Olivia Mast swore she’d never return to Unity, Maine, where she lost her entire family to a fire and killed her abusive husband in self-defense. She’d rather run through gunfire than go back there, but she has her orders.
The community refuses to seek justice after a murder, so Olivia must don her prayer kapp once more to investigate undercover. She’s the only one in her unit able to blend in as one of the Amish and get information from them.
Because she’s going undercover, she has to deceive her community and family by letting them think she wants to rejoin the Amish and come home for good.
To top it all off, she must also covertly protect the man she dated as a teenager, Isaac Troyer, who somehow looks even better now than he did back then. But that’s beside the point. They aren’t the teenagers they used to be.
When Olivia returns to Unity, Isaac Troyer believes he’s getting a second chance at love.
Though a plain cabinet maker, he’s a target. And he has no idea Olivia is now an undercover detective carrying a 9mm under her skirts.
When Olivia realizes she needs Isaac’s help most of all because of his connections to the suspect, she must tell him the truth. Will Isaac be willing to break sacred Amish rules in order to help Olivia stop the murderer?

Ku Book review
I was intrigued by the description of the book. An ex Amish detective that has to go back to solve an un reported crime, I had to read it.
The main character, Olivia left her Amish community after the death of her abusive husband. She became a police officer and a detective. Then her Amish community is being terrorized by a killer and Olivia is sent to go undercover to investigate. To do that, she has to pretend to rejoin the church. A former boyfriend might be a target, so part of her job will be protecting him. Olivia can’t think of anywhere she’d rather be less than her old community, but she goes and does what she has to do. Will it be enough, though? Can she catch the killer and return to her old life, or will things be changed forever?
This was a really good book with a lot of fast-paced action. I Looking forward to the next book.
