A Killing in Amish Country: Sex, Betrayal, and a Cold-Blooded Murder by Gregg Olsen
4.0
Another great read from Mr. Gregg Olsen and Rebecca Morris. It is interesting as I have read many fiction Amish books. I like many are fascinated by this lifestyle. Yet, even when I have read a few fiction Amish murder mystery stories, I was still shocked by the thought that murder happens in this community. I mean it does but the murder rate is very low.
As I read this story of Barbara and Eli Weaver, I felt conflicted by the people in their community. On one had I understood their reason for forgiving and not holding ill will but on the other hand, I felt like they turned their back on Barbara.
Then there were all of the women that Eli had relationships with. They knew that Eli was married but yet they continued to have relationships with him. If he had never mentioned killing his wife, I believe these women would have still carried on a relationship with him. By the end of this book I did feel like Barbara got justice.
