But will it be enough to make her stay? Or has help come too late?īestselling and award-winning author Suzanne Woods Fisher invites you back to Stoney Ridge, a small town that feels like an old friend.įBI Special Agent Lynda Culter is investigating an ecoterrorist organization in the Alaskan wilderness when her partner is taken captive and murdered before her very eyes.
If in doubt, Nathan's father reminds her frequently.Īs Dok spends time with Lydie, she recognizes symptoms of a disorder rare among the Amish. Nathan claims he's in love with her, but she knows she's not good enough for him. It gives her time to figure out how she's going to say goodbye to her neighbor, Nathan Yoder-the main reason she needs to leave Stoney Ridge. Knowing Lydie is "between" jobs, the local doctor asks her to fill in at the front desk for a few months. Leaving her family and church seems unbearable, but staying might be worse. The only thing she does well is disappoint others. She's not like other Amish girls, as much as she wishes she were. It's not easy being the bishop's daughter, especially for Lydie Stoltzfus. As tensions reach a fever pitch, the tale-which is at once familiar and ordinary, yet bizarre and eerie-shows that, just like life in 2020s uncertain times, dread and danger lurk below the hidden underside of everyday suburbia. As the neighborhood reels from the loss, Scott and Bergmans earthy and enticing widow, Rachel, not only find themselves under investigation for the crime, but also inexorably drawn to one another. Stranger still, stockpiles of valuable Personal Protection Equipment, clearly stolen, were destroyed in the blaze alongside them. When a fire claims the empty house for sale next door, the entire community is shocked when the charred remains of Marie and John are found inside. When his wife Marie and neighbor John Bergman disappear in the middle of the raging COVID-19 pandemic, Scott is naturally mystified and disturbed, but he is also about to learn that his picturesque neighborhood hides more than just the mundane routines of suburban life. For Scott Hatcher, a former television writer turned struggling novelist with a failing marriage to boot, social-distancing and mask-wearing feel like fitting additions to his already surreal life.
