The Pretender Book Review

If you have not read this Amish mystery from author, I highly recommend it. It is captivating!

My Review:

The Pretender by the amazing wordsmith Wanda Brunstetter is a Christian mystery Amish novel. This is Book Three in the series. Finally we will get the answer that has been concerning Roses’s family since Book One. If you haven’t read the first two yet. This may easily be read as a stand alone, but I would encourage you to read the entire series.

Set in modern day, this is a captivating book from the very beginning. I was immediately invested in the story and the interesting characters. The writing style is easy to read with multi-layered, relatable characters. Descriptions are on point and take me to Amish country. I loved learning some new Amish words. There are twists and turns to keep readers interested and guessing. One of Rosa’s sisters is not nice at all. I scolded her multiple times while reading this novel.

There are struggles, triumph, and trials along with forgiveness and family drama in this book. The Christian is very clear and done well. At the end of the book, there is a recipe from the story.

I highly recommend this wonderful book. This series would make a great selection for a reading group. There is so much to discuss. The author has provided discussion questions to assist. This novel earns a 5 star rating from me. A complimentary copy from the publisher, but these are my honest thoughts.
