About this listen

After a family tragedy, a tough Chicago cop returns to her hometown in rural Pennsylvania. Now a detective on the local police force, she investigates the murder of a teenage Amish girl. Soon, her and her son’s lives are in danger as she uncovers the dark underbelly of the picture-postcard town where anyone can be the killer. Book One in the Detective Beth Gould, AMISHLAND, murder mystery thriller series.

It’s up to Detective Beth Gould to lift the veil of secrecy that shrouds the Amish community and might be harboring a killer. Young Sara Goode was on her “Rumspringa,” or wild times when she was murdered. Unfortunately, everyone is a suspect; the girl’s family, fellow cops, and even Beth’s own son. Who is the killer?

The shunning the Amish use to punish individuals is also used against Beth by her colleagues, friends, and family as her investigation threatens not only key Amish leaders but the livelihood of the town. Family, love, lust, and murder weave together to expose a killer along the pastoral highways of America in SHUNNED.
