I think this is my favorite of these Ohio Amish Mysteries so far. Once again, there is a murder to be solved, lots of possible suspects, conflict between the Amish and the non-Amish. The three same characters, who have been friends since childhood, are involved in solving the murder.
This is a safe, clean mystery that provides readers with good escape. He goes about putting together the pieces of just what happened when an 18 wheeler collided with an Amish buggy and other happenings in Holmes County.

Oct 25, Cindy rated it liked it Shelves: Not the best in the series, but still a good quick read and leaves us wanting more to see what happens with some of our favorite characters.

There has been a new more conservative Bishop elected who wanted to change back to the old ways and there was some dissention about who of the group would chose to stay. There were also rumblings about shady land deals which were costing many families their farms and Weaver was behind this. Was there more to the fatal accident?

It is a difficult path that the Amish must follow as farms become too expensive to own and keeping the faith becomes increasingly difficult when these folk must pursue jobs in towns or in doing work that is tourist oriented. This is an excellent series and I learn a bit from each book. In one scene a woman scrubs her floor with a strip of 2x2 wood covered with cloth wrapped around it so that a new area of cloth is available when an area becomes soiled.
I might just try that. Jan 10, Joe A rated it liked it Recommends it for: Readers Who Enjoy Mysteries. This book is called Clouds without Rain and it is written by Paul Gaus. Clouds without Rain is an Ohio Amish mystery in which the members of a small Amish community in Ohio face trouble when there is a deadly accident involving a truck and an Amish buggy.
Many people suspect that there is more to the accident then meets the eye. To add to the trouble, a group of unknown teenagers have been robbing Amish buggies in the community. Professor Michael Branden, with help from the local Sheriff, decides enough is enough when he makes it his mission to uncover the truth and restore the tradition of the community. The continual struggles of the encroaching modern world on the Amish in the form of persistent land developers leads to more troubles when a bank official goes missing, an estate trustee disappears, and several people turn up dead.

It's the third in a series and I think the more interesting plot point some sort of Amish Satanic cult?! How is that not the main story? I didn't read any other books in the series so maybe it's addressed in more detail elsewhere - but this didn't grab me enough to make me pick up the other books to find out.

Mar 10, Mayda rated it really liked it Shelves: In Clouds without Rain, P. Gaus has again written a superb mystery wrapped around a social concern. Land is important to the Amish for farming, for food and a modest living; it is important to developers to generate money and for a profit, the bigger the better. In this mystery, the two worlds collide, and the result is disastrous.
The Amish cannot believe one of their own would treat them unfairly in his lust for money. But seems to be the case, or is it? When the ownership rights to eight In Clouds without Rain, P. When the ownership rights to eight farms are threatened, the Amish feel they have little recourse. Add to this mix an unstable Amish man, an English woman intent on turning a huge profit on some not-quite-legal land development, and an unscrupulous businessman threatened with the loss of his business, you the makings for one fine tale.
Feb 11, Richard rated it liked it. This is rare, but it can happen. This is absolutely possible, I was cycling my bike in a completely cloudless sky when I suddenly hit this wall of super humid and hot air. I had never experienced this kind of air before. As I passed into this wall of humid air, it started raining.
