A KILLING IN AMISH COUNTRY : SEX, BETRAYAL, AND A COLD-BLOODED MURDER
by Gregg Olsen and Rebecca Morris

Reading this book was a total waste of time. It's not exactly good literature, but more like tabloid trash. I certainly did not find it compelling as many reviewers did. 
The story is about an Amish man in Ohio who is bored with his life (he had left the Amish fold twice before) of being married with five children. He has many affairs with other women and with one in particular, he tells her that he wants his wife killed and will she do it. The two of them plan the murder by her researching different ways. The wife ends up being shot and killed. Who actually shot her? It ends up in court and these two are found guilty and incarcerated. Sorry to give the verdict here, but you can figure it out early on what's going to happen.
If you happen to see it in a store or the library, don't stop to look at the book. Just keep on walking.
Not recommended.
