I have always enjoyed reading books by author Melanie Dobson
as she is a masterful storyteller in bringing past and present timelines and
situations to such emotional and fulfilling conclusions. I do
not read a whole lot of Amish fiction, but I can tell you that The Silent Order is not your usual
fair. This story takes place during the
1920’s in Cleveland and Sugar Creek, Ohio in a time of mobsters and
bootlegging. Detective Rollin Wells is a
detective bound and determined to take down one particular powerful mob family
by the name of the Cardanos who are hiding some pretty dark secrets. However, his investigation takes him to Sugar
Creek, Ohio which is home to an Amish community. Here he meets Katie Lehman who reminds him of
someone in his past. This story was full
of so many layers of secrets, that from the explosive prologue to the very last
page, I had to know who was who and what was what. This was a very satisfying read. I want to thank author Melanie Dobson for
providing me with a copy for an honest review.
The opinions are all my own and I eagerly await her next story.
