Eli left his Amish faith behind long ago, but his heart is rooted in a local cold case he can't forget--a mystery with strange connections to Anna's loss. Desperate to uncover the truth, Anna and Eli are faced with stony silences and secrets ... secrets that someone wants to keep buried in the past"--Publisher.

I don't like “bonnet fiction,” but this came in a bag of ten LIS books at a library sale, and when I joined a genre challenge this year, I thought I'd go ahead and try it. The MCs are not Amish, though the FBI hero was raised Amish. A lot focuses on his family and the unsolved disappearance of his little sister from years before.
Overall, though, the book was jammed full with a complex plot. Bursting at the seams, really, to the point that some of the big suspense was simply summarized instead of shown, especially at the end. I think I would have actually enjoyed the story much more had it been longer and more detailed in terms of showing the clues and such.
