A Terrible Secret Hides in the Bulrushes

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 deceased body of a young woman.
As the local authorities attempt to unravel the mystery, Henry 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 this puzzling case.
Henry's closest friend, Emma Fisher, has always urged him to embrace his gift. As their relationship deepens, Henry realizes his involvement could put him and those he loves in the direct path of a killer, one who is willing to do anything to cover up a brutal crime, including framing the bishop.
When the Bishop Needs an Alibi is a compelling story of faith, friendship, and finding courage only God can provide.

      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.
