adventurous informative reflective medium-paced

    When Barbara Weaver is killed, her Amish Community is rocked. Was it her husband Eli Weaver or one of his lovers, Barb Raber? Barb is convicted of the murder, was she really the killer or did Eli essentially get away with murder?
    This was better than some of the other Gregg Olsen books I've read, but still not specular. It was interesting, but I wish there had been a deeper dive into the Amish; like the book claimed it had in the foreword.

Narrator Rating: 3.0 stars
  The narrator was okay but not great. She was easy to tune out or get bored with.

Elemental Levels:  Heartfelt-3/5  Tear- 2/5

Quick listen but long winded at points. Seems like information was repeated to fill space. Learning about how Amish live was interesting.
