Amish Jane Doe is a story about facing the past, forgiveness, healing, family, love, and a cold case. There were twists and turns along the way. It is a suspenseful story with an intriguing mystery. I enjoyed visiting Berlin, Ohio which is Jackson's hometown. I like the author's engaging writing style. I was able to finish it in a couple of hours on a rainy afternoon. Can Jackson and LizBeth work together to find the culprit before another Amish girl is lost? Amish Jane Doe is a quick read. She wishes to escape, and Marie has found someone who can help her. Marie is a teenager who is upset that her brother left her behind to deal with their strict father. Jackson gets a chance to speak with his younger sister, Marie. The attraction they felt as teens is still there. Jackson reconnects with LizBeth who may be able to help him identify the victim in his cold case. Twelve years later, Detective Jackson Lapp returns to solve a cold case. He left behind his sister and his close friend, LizBeth Troyer. Jackson Lapp left the Amish community as a teenager when he could no longer tolerate his father's behavior. I found myself quickly drawn into Amish Jane Doe by Shelley Shepard Gray.
