Thirty-year-old Barbara Weaver was content to live as the Amish have for centuries - without modern convenience - but her husband, Eli, wanted a life beyond horses and buggies. Soon he gave in to the temptation of technology and found ways to go Online and meet women. When Barbara was found dead, shot in the chest at close range, all eyes were on Eli... and his mistress, a conservative Mennonite named Barb Raber. Barb drove Eli to appointments in her car. She gave him everything he asked for: a laptop, rides to his favorite fishing and hunting spots, and sex.

Book excellent as usual .
Narrator needs an English lesson: if you are "winding" your way around something, it is pronounced as in winding a watch, not as in blowing wind. I have written this comment repeatedly - I hope someone knows narrator or directs them to this comment. Unbelievable the number of narrators that either are never taught this difference in grade school. 5 stars otherwise.
