Bradford, Laura

Fans of Bradford's character-centric series will appreciate this latest entry. New readers may enjoy meeting the protagonists in the first book in the series, Hearse and Buggy.

Engaging characters and a tender story line will please fans of Amish fiction, especially readers of Amy Clipston.

Bradford's series debut cozy is a deft puzzle that stars twin motives, revenge and jealousy. Her strong suit is how she develops the theme of finding one's way in the world. The author also writes as Elizabeth Lynn Casey (Reap What You Sew). [Previewed in Kristi Chadwick's Mystery Genre Spotlight feature, "Crime Travels," LJ 4/15/12.]
