Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Amish Fugitive
Shelley Shepard Gray · 2023
64/100
👎 Skip It
A wrongful-accusation mystery gives this more forward motion than a straight romance, and Gray is a name you can generally trust in this genre. It sits on the more intense end with an at-large killer in the mix, and with only one review out there whose verdict I can't confirm, it's a reasonable pick rather than a standout.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Romantic-suspense plot centers on an active, at-large killer — more crime/danger content than the imprint's typical sweet-romance entries, though non-graphic per house standard. We still scored it 64; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
