KINGDOM COME

Jane Jensen

Amish country in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, has always been a place of quiet beauty—until a shocking murder shatters the peace, and leaves a troubled detective picking up the pieces…
After her husband is murdered, Detective Elizabeth Harris turns in her NYPD badge and moves back home, hoping that a quiet life in remote Pennsylvania Dutch country will help her overcome the dark memories of her ten years in New York. But when a beautiful, scantily clad “English” girl is found dead in the barn of a prominent Amish family, Elizabeth knows that she’s uncovered an evil that could shake the community to its core.

Elizabeth’s boss is convinced this was the work of an “English,” as outsiders are called in Lancaster County. But Elizabeth isn’t so sure. All she’s missing is an actual lead—until another body is found: this time, a missing Amish girl. Now Elizabeth must track down a killer with deep ties to a community that always protects its own—no matter how deadly the cost…

Jane Jensen is a game designer and novelist. Best known for her computer game series, Gabriel Knight, and her novel, Dante’s Equation, Jane has published 17 games and 4 novels. She lives in Mount Joy, PA.

...solid first in a new Amish series... Nicely drawn characters, such as handsome widower Ezra Beiler and Ezra‘s stolid sister, Martha, lend substance to this tale of secrets hidden deep within a closed religious community.

Though a quick desription of the premise might make this series kickoff from Jensen sound absurd, her writing style is consistently engrossing and enticing. Trust earned in this book should be repaid by the installments that follow.
