In the book’s first sentence, a disparate phone call from her mother changes Shauna McKay’s life completely. And it would be the last time Shauna would ever hear her voice. Shauna flees to her uncle who lives in an Amish community and the local sheriff, Liam Harland, convinces her to hide with the Amish — she’ll blend in. But when a young Amish woman is attacked in a public place, can Liam really protect Shauna and stop the killer?
My review …
When a book hooks you with the very first sentence, you cross your fingers and hope it stays that way to the end. Hiding in Plain Sight did. The book is a clean Amish mystery/suspense. The characters are engaging. The pacing is intense; the reader wants to know what happens next. Gotta flip that page. The plot is not same-o, same-o. And the killer is determined to kill Shauna.
Sure, the author Laura Scott takes some poetic license with the Amish side of the story. For example, no “English” woman would be able to pin herself into an Amish dress and apron having been shown only once and that in a hurry.
But I enjoyed the story so much, forgiveness was in the next page flip. Had to see what happened next! And it’s only her second Amish novel (haven’t read it yet). Hopefully, more research will eliminate those concerns.
If you like Amish mystery/suspense, Hiding in Plain Sight (an overused book title) should definitely be on your must-read list. I received a complimentary e-ARC copy of Hiding in Plain Sight via NetGalley from the publisher, HARLEQUIN – Romance (U.S. & Canada), Love Inspired Suspense. A positive review was not required; the opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
Rating: 4.5 stars — 4 on sites w/only whole numbers.
