I have read lots of Amish books but never an Amish mystery. Linda Castillo has written a series of books set in Amish country with a female police chief who used to be a member of the Amish church growing up. She and her family have a secret that eats at her constantly in this first book in the series.
Young girls, both Amish and English are being kidnapped, tortured and murdered. The killings resemble those that happened in the same area sixteen years. The chief's secret complicates her investigation. She eventually is fired by the city council which of course is when she manages to solve the case. The story is pretty good except for the coincidences that propel the climax.
