Resumen del Editor

Evil lurks in Amish country - and detective Elizabeth Harris is there to smoke it out in the new novel from the author of Kingdom Come.

By solving the murders of two local girls, Elizabeth has gained some trust in the Amish community. So she's the first person its members turn to when a fast and fatal illness takes hold among the Amish in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Many believe that the sickness stems from a curse placed by a practitioner of old-world folk magic. But Elizabeth doesn't believe in curses, and when an entire Amish family is found dead, she begins to suspect something far more sinister.

As the CDC is called in to investigate, customers of a Philadelphia farmers market selling Amish goods start dying. Amid rapidly escalating panic, Elizabeth must peel away layers of superstition and fear to save the livelihood - and lives - of an entire community. Because what has happened isn't an accident of nature or an act of God; it's the handiwork of someone who has only just begun to kill.

Great Series

What did you love best about In the Land of Milk and Honey?

I loved the characters in this book. This book works on many levels but for me this story was close to perfect. I really hope we see more entries in the series soon.

Another Great Mystery...Just One Problem

I really enjoy the Elizabeth Harris mysteries. The characters are realistic, and the stories have satisfying conclusions. My only complaint is an overuse of profanity. Ms. Jensen could be using it for certain characters' mental states and flaws, but it's still too much. Please reconsider for the next book (which I already look forward to). You can have a villain, a rough individual, or any other person with strong emotions without such foul and reader-assaulting language.

Very good read

Well good book to listen to. Love the first series and the second book of this author got me hooked. I finished listening to this book in one day. Could not put this down since I wanted to know who was causing the issue for the Amish community in their milk product. Overall, great story. I wish Jane Jensen would make another series of detective Elizabeth Harris.

Suspense to the End...

What made the experience of listening to In the Land of Milk and Honey the most enjoyable?

Everything... Loved the 1st book and this one was even better.

What did you like best about this story?

Suspenseful all the way to the end.. I had no idea... WOWZA

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I didn't get too unfortunately but I would have loved too.

Excellent book 2!!

I truly enjoyed listening. The story line was suspenseful but not harsh. Love interest is perfect!!

Entertaining

Interesting story, fascinating detective work, well read, good development of characters. I enjoyed the setting in an Amish community. I want more!!

slow to start, ended strong

I was so excited to listen to this book after finishing the first in the series which was great. I was rather disappointed for the first few chapters with the story which seemed to be focused on making more of a statement about agriculture than on telling a story. As a born and raised farmer, I didn't appreciate that, and almost stopped listening. Elizabeth also seemed more stiff and not the great character that was in the first book. About mid book, the story picked up and E came back. I would liked to have seen more of Ezra in the book as well. As in the first book, fantastic narration!

liked it alot!

enjoyed book, really like narrator as well
reminds me of Linda Costello ,
hope there another

Solid 2nd book of what promises to be a fun detective series

I've always enjoyed Jensen's story telling ever since Gabriel Knight (although I've not read any materials written under her pen name). This book is another classic modern detective story with excellent writing, vivid description, and steady character development. Will hope for a third story about these characters from that brilliant brain of hers.......keep up the great work Jane!

Great Amish story

Loved this mystery which takes place in an Amish community. Murder mysteries and the Amish don't seem to go together but this one finally plays out in the last hour of the book. The heroine is a strong-willed and conscientious policewoman who is emotionally grounded by her ex-Amish lover and companion. I'm just sorry there isn't a Book 3 yet! Great author and great narrator.
