Had her brand-new husband been involved in something shady? Before Caroline Hampton could confront him, he was killed in a car crash...or so it was claimed. Unsettling incidents--escalating in dange--warned her he could be very much alive. And so Caroline fled for the safety of her sisters' Amish country inn.

More About the Author

I realized I wanted to be a writer at age eight, when I read my first Nancy Drew novel, The Secret of the Old Clock. Most little girl reach the end of that book wanting to be Nancy. I wanted to be the person who created the story!
The dream lay hidden for years while I became a teacher, married, had children...all the usual things. But eventually it re-surfaced, and I began to write, beginning with short children's stories for Sunday school take-home papers. It seemed a long time until that first acceptance, but eventually I began to sell. After some three hundred published short stories, I finally found the courage to work on the novel I'd always wanted to write.
Thirty-some published novels later, I still feel the same excitement every time I begin a new book--a mix of not believing I can do it combined with an overwhelming urge to see the story on the page.
A lifetime spent in rural Pennsylvania and my own Pennsylvania Dutch roots eventually led me to the books I'm writing now about the Amish. The Pleasant Valley Amish series from Berkley Books are longer, more complex emotional stories with Amish main characters, while my forthcoming HQN suspense novels are more adventure-filled books set in Pennsylvania Dutch country. I'm also writing a Love Inspired series, The Bodine Family, set on the South Carolina coast where we have a second home.
When I'm not writing, I'm busy with church activities, traveling, and spending time with my three children and six beautiful grandchildren.

Marta Perry's Three Sister's Inn series is extremely delightful. I have enjoyed each book, but in my opinion this is her best. Readers who want their romance spiked with a dash of suspense will love this series. If you haven't discovered Marta Perry's stories, give them a try. You'll be glad you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the series, July 3, 2008

The other two books are almost a copycat but this one is entirely different. The other two are love stories, this is a "thrilling" love story. It has some loose ends but nonetheless is a very good reading and you can read this book without reading the other two. But you can't read the second book "A Christmas to Die For" with out reading the first one "Hide in Plain Sight".

This review is from: Buried Sins (The Three Sisters Inn) (Kindle Edition)

I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. It was very well written with an engrossing story line that has a lot of twists and turns. If you are looking for a novel that gives an in depth look at living Amish (as I was) this is not the one to buy. However I would recommend buying this one for the other reasons that I gave above. It is more than worth its low price. Also while religion figures into the story it is not presented in a "preachy" manner at all. A thoroughly entertaining read that should be appreciated by everyone.
