A Killing in Amish Country: Sex, Betrayal, and a Cold-blooded Murder
SouthWestZippy avatar reviewed on + 265 more book reviews


This is a very upsetting and unsettling murder case. Barbara Weaver was murdered on June 2, 2009. Her Husband Eli is the prime suspect as well as one of his Girlfriends. The Authors did a wonderful job of not going overboard with nasty details but give a clear picture of the crime scene. Eli is clearly a man who wanted it all, the life style he grew up in and the life style he discovered via internet and having a cell phone. The Amish are a fascinating subject and this book does touch on the details of some of their beliefs but does not lose focus on the Murder case.
