My review:

I knew from the title that Amish Jane Doe would have a unique storyline. I have read a TON of Amish fiction, but never one that featured a cold case. This is a series of books under the umbrella of inspirational cold cases. I would love to read more of these novels. I love that while they are a series, they each stand alone.

Amish Jane Doe is a quick, captivating read. Jackson came back to Berlin, Ohio, to try and solve a cold case that he is working. The case doesn't just lead him back to his hometown, it also leads him back to his family and his former girlfriend. The relationships are complicated; the case even more so. 

When the case heats up and gets more personal, Jackson and LizBeth must work together, even if the outcome could break their fledgling trust.

Amish Jane Doe is about forgiveness, healing, and justice. There are several surprises in the story, and I did NOT see the "mastermind" coming. That is the trademark of a fabulous suspense novel. Shelley Shepard Gray has written another winner! I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys Amish suspense, cold case stories, or clean suspense novels.

Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
