Helpful Score: 2

This excellent book gives a peak at Amish culture, and the interactions between Amish and the "English" or everyday Americans. At the same time, this is a thrilling mystery which carries you along and is hard to put down. Castillo's characters are well drawn and sympathetic; you'll find yourself rooting for the heroine. One technical point: I come from the part of Ohio where this book is set, and I never heard a roadside ditch there called a "barrow ditch." I'm guessing this is a term more common in Castillo's home state of Texas. This minor point didn't detract from my enjoyment of the book.
