Whispers from the Dead Serenity Plain Secrets Book 2 edition by Karen Ann Hopkins Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews

This story is a much more complex story than Lamb To The Slaughter,' the first in the series – so much so that I had trouble following who did what to whom in prior crimes that tie to the one Serenity is asked to investigate. But Hopkins’s story telling was good enough to hold my interest,

Again, Hopkins paints the Amish in darker colors than most books do. And Serenity is still mercurial enough to be all over the place in her emotions and behavior. And for someone who is a veteran police officer, she doesn’t come across as confident in her abilities.

Throughout the book, Hopkins plays a bit fast and loose with the line separating what Serenity could and couldn’t legally do as a law enforcement officer operating in another jurisdiction without having specifically been asked to assist the police there with the crime.

Three production errors jumped out at me. In one, a character in the scene brushes hair back from his 'forward' instead of 'forehead.' And one place Hopkins has a pick-up parked behind a car and two pages lather has it parked in front of the car. And the same car flip-flops between being a Dodge Charger and Challenger. They are not the same, Ms. Hopkins, and car names are always capitalized. Who does your proofreading?

And there’s the matter of the toboggan. To me, a toboggan is a flat-bottomed wooden sled with a curled back front. So it confused me when Hopkins had Serenity put on a toboggan. I wondered why she was putting a sled on, and it took a second for me to make the jump to it being what we call a stocking hat or watch cap. I’m sure quite a few other readers had the same problem.

Still, I’ll read more of these books if they come my way.
Having read the first book, I knew I was in for a memorable reading experience but this book surpassed all expectations. Adventures of Sheriff Serenity Adam which were undertaken upon a request from an Amish gentleman from a different county hold the reader in a strong spell that is impossible to break out of until the book is finished.

We were introduced to the Amish culture in the first book and this book takes us deeper into it. It is fascinating to read about the strong family values, the tenderness and protective environment created by the elders of the community towards their youth as well as the harsh disciplinary practices including "shunning" make for captivating reading. This book makes us realize that in their inner core the Amish young ones are as fun loving as their counterparts outside.

It was very enchanting to read about the versatility of Serenity's actions in her investigative techniques, her ability to put the facts together to arrive at the right conclusion most of the time, her capacity for loving and caring for the children and animals, her courage in rushing forth to save lives in a conflagration all endear her very much to the readers!

It was one of the most pleasant reading experiences I have experienced in recent times. Thank you, Ms. Hopkins.
I am an 'old school' reader. I really don't care for reading about other people's sex. This book was moving along so nicely, and then boom, found myself in the middle of a scene. Not sure now, if I'll read the third one, or not.
This is the 2nd novel in Karen Hopkins' "Serenity'" series. I enjoyed this book more than the first one because the author left out all the "F" bombs....except one at about the 3/4 mark....and there was no juvenile "tongue tangles" that was referred to regularly in Book one. However, for me, there was TMI in the explicit love scene close to the end. I'm glad the language was cleaned up as it made a more pleasant read for me. I would rather have used my imagination instead of reading step by step account of the H/h lovemaking....I could/should have skipped over that part.

Anyway, the plot was well constructed and the characters belIevable. There were many facets to this story and the Author brought everything together nicely. There is closure, no annoying cliff hanger, but I would want to read them in order as the main characters and their back-stories are an important ingredient within the content of the novels.
Fast easy read, but not that great. Not a good portrayal of the Amish as I know them. Too much sexual content that didn't belong to the story line.
I liked this one but not as well as the first book in this series. Spoilers at this point in the series Serenity has yet to become intimate with Daniel and frankly can't see what Daniel sees in her. The author is a gifted writer but not so much in the romance area. When they finally do become intimate it was kind of a wham bam thing and not very interesting at all. I would suggest that the author just fade to black in that area. Even the suspense leading up to intimacy is not very well written. I would also suggest that the author do more research before she offers a legal opinion bc while there is no statute of limits on Murder there certainly is for manslaughter so that whole line really bothered me. Aside from the statute of limits the fact that the crime occurred when the perps (for lack of a better word) were teenagers and would likely have been adjudicated in juvenile court there would be no likelihood of time to serve for a crime that happened 20 yrs earlier. My parents made me spend a summer on a farm when I was 7 yrs old so I think it is funny to see Serenity's response to the rural life.
