Summary: Best Suspense
Review: My mother read the book and she said that this is a good, solid suspense novel. She was almost the edge of her seat just to read what happens next. This is a page-turner. Well done! She gave the book to my sister.

Summary: The best book I have read in a long long time!!
Review: This book was incredible, once I started reading it I could not put it down. I am casual reader and it usually takes me a week or more to finish a book, with this one I started it yesterday afternoon, read until I couldnt keep my eyes open for another second, went to bed, got up and immediatly picked up the book and could not put it down til it was finished. Karen Harper has a way of drawing you into this book in a way that you cant wait til you get to the end to see what happens but then are disappointed that it is over once you do get there. Wonderful!!

Summary: Great Book! Karen Harper never disappoints me!
Review: This was another great book by Karen Harper. I am so glad that I didn't let a C- review which I read at an online review site sway me.I would give this book a solid A! It has wonderful writing about the world of the Amish and an Amish woman named Rachel who has lost her husband to a tragic accident. She is left alone with her two twin sons. I don't want to give to much away, but Rachel's world is turned upside down and she turns to a "English" ie. non-amish man for help. There is romance and suspense and so much more to love about this book. Bravo Ms. Harper! You did it again!

Summary: A good writer gets better
Review: Three years ago, forty-one members of the Maplecreek Amish community move across Ohio to buy affordable farmland and end their zoo-like attraction to tourists. Among the relocaters are Sam and Rachel Mast and their twin sons. However, only two years of bliss in their new home passes when Sam dies in what is believed to be a freak accident. A year later, Rachel has radically changed and her neighbors feel she has become a rebel defying the conformity code of her people. Rachel works her own farm and refuses to marry church leader Eben Yoder. Even more scandalous is her friendship with her English neighbor and with Englishman Mitch Randall, a restorer of barns. Mitch wants to repair Rachel's barn, which leads to a forbidden attraction between them. While Rachel struggles with this crisis of the heart, someone begins to terrorize her in actions that she feels are linked to Sam's death. Anyone who wants an insider's look at the religious, cultural, and political lifestyle of the Amish will want to read DOWN TO THE BONE. Karen Harper makes her characters seem alive although readers will wonder why Rachel does not seem to suffer heartache from her sudden loss nor qualms about breaking rules that she adhered to all her life. The exciting story line will retain the audience's attention throughout a tale where suspects are eliminated one at a time in a strange manner. Harriet Klausner
