Plain Killing by Emma Miller

A young woman dressed Amish has been found dead in a pond. She has been missing for some time so her family assumed she no longer wanted to be Amish and left. There are a number of girls missing. Can Rachel help solve the mystery? Rachel was raised Amish but was never officially baptized so she is comfortable with both the Amish and English world. She can relate to the Amish and is very helpful with the local people in letting them know the Amish culture. She is close to her first cousin who is Amish and her cousin helps her solve mysteries. One of her cousin's best friends has been gone from the Amish for nearly two years so when a lead comes up that this girl is in New Orleans Rachel and her cousin travel to seedy parts of New Orleans to find the girl. One bothered me about the book is that Rachel's father quickly agreed that the cousin could accompany Rachel for New Orleans to find the girl. This would involve getting on an airplane. It is highly unlikely that the Amish would agree to this so this part of the story bothered me. The mystery about the girl in the pond is solved and most of the girls accounted for. Only one was not accounted for and I do wish this one could have been found too. Maybe the next book. I enjoyed this book and hope the author will write some more in this series.
