When the Bishop needs an alibi / Vannetta Chapman.

Chapman, Vannetta, (author.).

Summary:

"Amish Bishop Henry Lapp eagerly awaits the annual arrival of 20,000 sandhill cranes to the San Luis Valley of Colorado. But his visit to the Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge reveals more than just a miracle of God's creation. Hidden among the bulrushes and cattails is the body of Sophia Johnson--one of Monte Vista's newest residents and a waitress at the local diner. As the local authorities attempt to unravel the mystery, Henry finds himself drawn to the young woman's family and once again feels God's calling to use his extraordinary talent to aid in the investigation. His ability to draw from memory in photographic detail could help solve the case. It might also put Henry and those he loves in the direct path of a killer willing to do anything it takes to cover up a brutal crime. What happens when Henry embraces his gift and trusts in God's protection, knowing that danger could be lurking close by?"-- Provided by publisher.

While birdwatching in a local wildlife refuge, Bishop Henry Lapp stumbles over the body of a young waitress from the local diner. When he is framed for her murder, Henry draws on his photographic memory and pairs up with friend Emma Fisher to search for clues to exonerate himself and identify the real killer. While this follow-up to What the Bishop Saw can stand alone, readers new to the series may prefer to start with the first book for the backstory. Fans will enjoy the nice rapport developing between Widow Fisher and Bishop Lapp, but the murder still takes center stage. VERDICT Faith and friendship are key to solving a crime in this cozy, which seamlessly blends English and Amish worlds. A solid choice for admirers of Amish fiction and for those seeking a gentle mystery. © Copyright 2017. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
