Representaion Toward Books Lamb to the Slaughter (Serenity's Plain Secrets #1)
The death of a teenage Amish girl in a cornfield looks like an accident, but sheriff Serenity Adams suspects foul play. To solve the murder, she must investigate the nearby Amish community with the help of a man who was shunned years ago.Lamb to the Slaughter is a story about the intertwining lives of three unlikely people in an Indiana Amish Community and the devastating results when a rebellious teenage girl is found shot to death in a corn field during the harvest.
Serenity Adams is the newly elected young sheriff in the country town of Blood Rock and besides dealing with the threatening behavior of her predecessor, she now has a dead Amish girl on her plate. At first glance, the case seems obvious. The poor girl was probably accidentally shot during hunting season, but when the elders of the Amish community and even the girl’s parents react with uncaring subdued behavior, Serenity becomes suspicious. As she delves deeper into the secretive community that she grew up beside, she discovers a gruesome crime from the past that may very well be related to the Amish girl’s shooting. Serenity enlists the help of the handsome bad-boy building contractor, Daniel Bachman, who left the Amish when he was nineteen and has his own dark reasons to help the spunky sheriff solve the crime that the family and friends who shunned him are trying desperately to cover up. Serenity’s persistence leads her to a stunning discovery that not only threatens to destroy her blossoming romance with Daniel, but may even take her life in the end.

ENA'S REVIEWI also received a copy of this book via Kismet in exchange for my honest opinion & review.So what can I say about the book, I did initially dislike how the book jumped from the "now" with Serenity to the "past" with Naomi but once you get into the book it soon falls into a rhythm and I ended up not wanting to put it down. I soon became attached to the characters and what was happening to each of them. I enjoyed Karen Ann Hopkins way of writing and also I enjoy learning about theI didn't like the back and forth pov between the current characters and I found Daniel especially annoying. The "romantic" scenes were written in the terms of bad romance novel tropes. Not sure I buy that the Amish are much like they're portrayed in the novel, seemed like the majority of the Amish adult women were either abusive or had a mental illness, or both. The teenagers weren't much better. The Amish men were portrayed as stoic, close minded, and a bizarre combination of ignorant to the
Can't wait to read this!!! Karen never disappoints!
"The Blood Rock Amish Community was anything but picturesque under it's pretty facade." Hopkins woven a story that instantly pulls you in to the story and will keep you turning the pages!The gripping story is about Serenity, the new sheriff in town. And although she's new, she already had a dead girl on her plate and as she was trying to solve the case, she was surprise by the nonchalant reaction of the Amish community since the dead girl was one of their own.Serenity is the definition of
Then came Karen Ann Hopkins, with her beautiful and engaging Temptation series, that kept me reading all night. Her sincere personality and love for her fans and book followers is shown through her Facebook and Twitter posts. She allows her readers to enter her life; horseback riding, raising animals, and the world of Amish living. Readers wait patiently for the next book to be published, we are showered with pictures that remind us of why she loves the Amish so much. Its the simple life that
I loved this book! Never much of a mystery reader I was reluctant to read it but let me tell you I want to read more of them! Karen puts so much more into the story besides mystery. The characters of Serenity and Daniel have such depth you want to know their whole story. That's why I'm hoping this to will be a series just like Temptation. What happens to Serenity, Daniel and the rest of Blood Rock, Indiana? I need to know!
Please tell me this is the start of a new brilliant series!!INITIAL THOUGHTSLooking forward to this one with mixed feelings, trepidation and a little anxiety, as I truly loved the Temptation Series, will I love this too?"MY REVIEWI received a ARC of this one from the Author via Kismet Book Tours in exchange for my honest opinion and review.The cover shows a pretty bleak sky over a large cornfield, which is an important place within the book as that is where Naomi Beiler's body is found. I love
