My attention was drawn quickly to the locations discussed. As someone who has grown up in Ohio, I was very familiar with the locations the author had brought up. I have always had a fascination for Amish culture, beliefs, and practices. I thought this brought an interesting perspective in the form of a true-crime novel. The level of research put into the details was definitely noticeable. The author did a fantastic job putting it all together. I recommend this to anyone who is seeking a suspenseful, true-crime story.
