Review: Among the Innocent

Among the Innocent by Mary Alford
My rating: 💛💛💛💛💛

This thriller grabbed my attention from the first page right till the end. The serial killer focused on young Amish girls, naïve and innocent and easy to manipulate, made this story a nail biter which I did not want to put down.

The murders was horrific and probably not for readers who prefer lighter suspense. There was a lot of the murders and scenes which I could anticipate, but the author also thrown in a few twists with some unexpected action and revelations at the end. I also guessed at who the murderer was and his connection to some of the characters, but it didn't take away the suspense for me, since the suspense was still there in if I connected all the dots.

This was the first book I've read by this author. And if all her future suspense/thrillers are to be expected to be at this same standard, I would read more by this author.

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?
