Amish Safe House

GIUSTI, DEBBY
AMISH SAFE HOUSE

Hiding in Plain Sight : the second thrilling Amish Witness Protection novel

After Julia Bradford's son witnesses a gang shooting hiding in a witness protection on Abraham King's Amish farm is the only hope the Englischer and her children have. Even as danger closes in, Julie is drawn to the community's peaceful ways -- and the ex-cop turned Amish protector. But when their location is discovered, can Abraham protect her family...and possibly have a future by her side?

My Review:

Phew! There are some crazy good heart-in-your-throat-running-for-your-life scenes in this book! I don't think my pulse has leveled out yet! There's something so edgy about a mom in fierce protector mode. I felt Julia's fear and panic and utter desperation. Such a contrast to Abraham's stoic calm. Some of that comes from his cop background, but a lot of it stems from his faith. I love the gentle way he shares his trust in God with the terrified woman who has stopped believing He cares.

This is the second book in the Amish Witness Protection series but reads perfectly fine as a standalone. The series title sums up the common thread that links these three books. I really enjoyed the balance Giusti achieved between the Amish elements and the overall romantic suspense. It felt authentic and plausible. I'm a huge fan of Amish + suspense though meshing the two can be a delicate balance and sometimes stories fall flat. But this author has definitely succeeded in this new sub-genre.

    1. Yes -- it's definitely a hit and miss thing but Debby's made a good job of it -- from the Amish details to the way she weaves the suspense around it. Good luck, Susan.
