Detective Beth Gould Amishland Mystery Thriller #3

by Kevin Bachar

Detective Beth Gould is back in DARKNESS, Book 3 in the AMISHLAND murder thriller series. After a family tragedy, Beth Gould, a tough Chicago cop, returns to her hometown in rural Pennsylvania. Now a detective on the local police force, she’s on the hunt for the killer of an Amish elder.

In Amish society, the elders are revered members of the clan, so when one is murdered, it sends a shockwave through the Amishland community. Elder Zachariah Bolder had many friends and a large family that loved him, but Detective Gould soon learns he had just as many enemies and people who hated him. Enough hate to commit murder, or is this a simple case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time?

As Beth digs deeper, she’s confronted by forces that will do anything to keep their secrets hidden. What Beth discovers might destroy the people and towns that make up Amishland.
