Amish Country Ambush by Dana R. Lynn

My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Amish Country Ambush. This is the fourth book in the  Amish Country Justice Series. I really enjoy Amish books and I also enjoy suspense so this book is awesome as far as I'm concerned. This story is well written, action packed, and full of faith. I know you are going to love it.
Police dispatcher Elise St. Clair is taking calls when her Amish housekeeper calls. She is so upset that Elise can't understand half of what she is saying. She does understand that someone has broken into her home and that they are in danger. Elise shouts to call the police and then races home. She finds her home trashed; her babysitter dead, the housekeeper and her nephew missing. She is confronted by her brother-in-law; a man who killed her sister and is believed to have died two years ago. A man that was once handsome now damaged and distorted; his voice cold and cruel. He attacks her but leaves when he hears sirens. A police officer rescues her.
Sergeant Ryan Parker answers the call from dispatch. He arrives to find the beaten woman barely conscious lying in a sea of glass. His colleague recognized her as one of the dispatchers. When she comes to she is frantic; begging him to find her and Mikey. They weren't safe. She really wasn't making much sense. Were two people still missing?  Ryan and his team are confused but he does know he must protect her and find the child.
A journey of trying to find a killer, a man no one believes is alive, and to find the Amish housekeeper and the child. God has a plan for these broken souls, a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too. A good plan and not for evil. Give Him your heart and watch Him work in your life.
