Ohio Amish Mystery Series - #2
BY P. L. GAUS The peaceful town of Millersburg, Ohio, in the heart of Ohio's Amish country, is rocked by the vicious murder of one of its citizens at the hands of an ex-convict. When a local reporter covering the story ends up dead as well, with the convict already behind bars, suspicion falls on David Hawkins, father of the first victim. But Hawkins is nowhere to be found, not even among the protective Amish colony that had taken him in as one of its own regardless of his shadowy past. Professor Michael Branden, Sheriff Bruce Robertson, and Pastor Cal Troyer set out to uncover the truth that seems so elusive in their otherwise quiet corner of the world. .

Ohio Amish Mystery Series - #6
BY P. L. GAUS "Separate from the World" is a story of a rift between two Amish factions, one favors the use of medicine and participates in a college study of genetic traits particular to the Amish community, and the other rejects any outside influence. Once more, Gaus takes us inside a separate culture and, in a manner both gentle & grim, highlights the complex relationship of the Amish and the "English" as they live inside or outside each other's orbits. "Gaus is a sensitive storyteller who matches his cadences to the measured pace of Amish life, catching the tensions among the village's religious factions." The New York Times
