FRAMED. HUNTED. ALONE. FRAMED IN AMISH COUNTRY IS HERE!

 Hi everyone, Mary Alford here! Summer is in full swing, and I hope you’re finding a little time to slow down, soak in the sunshine, and maybe even escape into a good book.
Long summer evenings make suspense feel sharper, with quiet surroundings and gripping pages. That’s why I’m so excited to share one of my favorite stories with you...Framed in Amish Country is now out in the world! If you love heart-pounding suspense with emotional depth and second chances, I hope you’ll check out Framed in Amish Country.



District Attorney Paige Grayson thought she’d left her past behind. But one midnight phone call sends her racing into a trap—and straight into the heart of a murder investigation. Her best friend is dead. Her weapon was used. And the man she once loved is the only one who believes she might be innocent.
Set in the quiet stillness of Amish country, this story explores the dark side of trust, betrayal, and redemption.

Reader Question:
If you were forced to trust someone from your past to survive… who would you call?
A childhood friend? An old flame? Someone you’re not even sure you can forgive?

About FRAMED IN AMISH COUNTRY
To prove her innocence she’ll have to expose a lethal conspiracy.
A frantic call from her best friend sends district attorney Paige Grayson running right into a trap—and now she’s being framed for her friend’s murder. With the police after her and evidence against her stacking up, she seeks refuge in Amish country—and the help of her first love, Elijah King, to clear her name. To expose the drug dealer setting Paige up, they must work together while evading a ruthless criminal and the police. With threats closing in and time running out, one wrong move could be their last.

Until next time, dear friends, in suspense and in faith, keep trusting the One who sees it all.

  1. Such a good question! I had to ponder it because while I thought of a lot of people, the "to survive" part had me really stumped! I settled on a guy I went to college with who was resourceful! Thanks for the giveaway! kheldreth@neo.rr.com

  5. That’s a powerful. There’s not many people I would choose from my childhood. However, I would trust the former sheriff when I was a volunteer at the sheriff’s dept. He always had our backs even when we were on patrol. I remember showing him a questionable photo of some using a different kind of drug paraphernalia. I didn’t know what it was. He was already to investigate. I assured him it was a photo from out of state. I really appreciated his care.

  26. I have a friend I went to church with as a teen who served as my only bridesmaid when I got married and was in the delivery room for most of my labor when I had my first child. I moved away and have only seen her in person once in 30 years but when we got together a couple of years ago it was like no time had passed.
