An Amish Mystery full of Tragedy

Customer Rating:
Ruth's story is the larger part of this book. Her older sister Grace is now married and part of the Amish after spending 10 years away from home. Martha is still at home, caring for her dogs and trying to get a business going. There is a little history, a little of several love stories, a little religion, and a huge amount of tragedy, suspense and mystery as bad things continue to happen to Ruth's family, the worst of which is their buggy accident which took the life of her newlywed husband. There is one twist in the end which causes this book to conclude on a sweet note. I hope there will be another book in this series.

GOOD READING

VERY GOOD BOOK WITH MIX OF ROMANCE AND AMISH HISTORY OF THEIR WAY OF LIFE KEEPS YOU INTERESTED FOR THE WHOLE BOOK

Not so good.

Customer Rating:
I'm just curious. Are all her books this depressing? This is the 2nd series of Wanda Brunstetter that I have read and so much bad happens. In the first series a little girl gets struck by lightening too. And there is also an english reporter. Can't she be a little more creative? I am a little more than half way done with the second book in this series and have figured out how it's going to end but so many times I've wanted to put it down because it's the same old repetitive things happening over and over. How many times can this person strike one families home and not be caught by someone. They are right there working most of the time and no one ever sees anything or anyone. This person(s) must be really fast in their getaway. I'm sorry to say that this series isn't doing much for me. The first series I read "Brides of Lancaster County" wasn't quite so bad. I think when I finish these I will read more of Beverly Lewis. Not that everything in her books is good but definitely not as depressing as these. There are also a lot of typos in these books. Take your time Wanda and write a better story.

I don't understand the rave reviews

Customer Rating:
I don't get it. I read the first and second book and was again left with no ending. The whole book focussus on the vandalisms and threats, as did the first book and still, no conclusion to that. Also, reading this book is like watching a soap opera. You can skip a page and read a page and not miss a beat. If you were to delete all of the repeating the same things over and over again, you'd probably be left with 100 pages rather than the nearly 300 that there is. I have many books by W. Brunstetter and other Amish others but must say that this series is a terrible bore.

A Sister's Test

Customer Rating:
Another great Amish story by Wanda Brunstetter. This one is a sequel to A Sister's Secret. You'll see many of hte characters from the first book, and also, a continuation of the mystery. If you haven't discovered Mrs. Brunstetter's books, by all means get started now. You're in for a treat.
