Nancy Mehl finishes up her Road to Kingdom series with Unforeseeable. As in the first two books of the series, Inescapable and Unbreakable, she tells the stories of residents of the isolated Mennonite community of Kingdom, Kansas. Along with the relationships and conflicts among the Plain people, there is danger in the form of a serial killer. Characters from the previous two books continue to play important roles in this story. In fact, this book is best enjoyed after reading books one and two.There are several different plots going on at once in Unforeseeable. Most of the characters and plots are well-developed and keep the reader's interest. All in all, fans of Amish/Mennonite fiction and those who enjoy some "who-dunit" mystery should enjoy Unforeseeable, even though it is a part of this series which is quite different from other books in the genre.
Thanks to Bethany House for providing a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

About the Book
Callie Hoffman has a good life in Kingdom, Kansas. She's engaged to Levi Housler, the new pastor of Kingdom Mennonite Church, and she spends her days working with Lizzie Housler, her friend and soon-to-be sister-in-law, at the town cafe.
When a body is discovered on the road outside Kingdom and the deceased turns out to be the victim of a serial killer, the new county sheriff begins questioning Kingdom residents. Unsettled at the prospect of a killer in Kingdom, Callie is desperate to find answers for herself, especially when her own fiance seems to know more about the murder than he's telling.
As the town battles an entirely unforeseen danger and Callie's very life is threatened, the stakes are as high as they've ever been and the people of Kingdom must learn anew to put their trust in God alone.

ReplyDeleteHaven't read anything about the Mennonites, so might be very interesting, especially to me since I use Mennonite records in my work as a genealogist. Fascinates me! Sonja(dot) nishimoto (at) gmail (dot) com
