GAUS AND HIS OHIO AMISH MYSTERIES "Gaus is a sensitive storyteller who matches his cadences to the measured pace of Amish life, catching the tensions among the village's religious factions." -New York Times Book Review "Gaus brings a refreshing authenticity to his unusual setting and characters. There are no wisecracking gumshoes here, but instead believable characters whose faith is explored with respect." -Publishers Weekly "Precise, detailed descriptions of Amish practices and full-bodied, unhurried, well-measured prose. A pleasure to read." -Library Journal "Definitely a series worth reading." -Booklist As another college year draws to an end, Professor Michael Branden is weary after nearly thirty years of teaching. Sitting in his office on a warm spring day, he receives an unexpected visit from an Amish man who claims his brother, a dwarf like himself, has been murdered, Their discussion of the odd details of the case is interrupted by a commotion o campus, which turns out to be the apparent suicide of a young woman, who, seems, has leapt to her death from the college bell tower. The investigations of these two deaths become intertwined as Professor Branden again teams up with his colleagues Pastor Cal Troyer and Sheriff Bruce Robertson to seek explanations for these bizarre events. Set against the rift between two Amish factions, one participating in a college study of genetic traits particular to their community and the other rejecting any outside influence, Separate from the World takes us inside the culture and, in a manner both gentle and grim, highlights the complex relationship of the Amish and the "English" as their separate worlds intersect. About the Author The author of the Ohio Amish Mystery series, P. L. Gaus, lives with his wife Madonna in Wooster, Ohio, on the northern fringe of the world's largest Amish settlement.
