Undercover Amish: (Covert Police Detectives Unit Series Book 1)
About this product
She left the Amish to become a police officer, but she never thought her most difficult case would be in her former community.
Detective Olivia Mast swore she’d never return to Unity, Maine, where she lost her entire family to a fire and killed her abusive husband in self-defense. She’d rather run through gunfire than go back there, but she has her orders.
The community refuses to seek justice after a murder, so Olivia must don her prayer kapp once more to investigate undercover. She’s the only one in her unit able to blend in as one of the Amish and get information from them.
Because she’s going undercover, she has to deceive her community and family by letting them think she wants to rejoin the Amish and come home for good.
To top it all off, she must also covertly protect the man she dated as a teenager, Isaac Troyer, who somehow looks even better now than he did back then. But that’s beside the point. They aren’t the teenagers they used to be.
When Olivia returns to Unity, Isaac Troyer believes he’s getting a second chance at love.
Though a plain cabinet maker, he’s a target. And he has no idea Olivia is now an undercover detective carrying a 9mm under her skirts.
When Olivia realizes she needs Isaac's help most of all because of his connections to the suspect, she must tell him the truth. Will Isaac be willing to break sacred Amish rules in order to help Olivia stop the murderer?

Editor's Take
Amazon/Goodreads-style reader feedback is generally positive, with many readers describing Undercover Amish as a page-turning mix of Amish romance, suspense, and mystery. Several reviewers praise the engaging plot, likeable characters, and fast pacing, while others call it predictable or note weak character development and some concerns about law-enforcement realism.
On Goodreads, readers repeatedly mention that the story is sweet and entertaining, with one reviewer calling it a “solid read” and another saying they “didn't want to stop” once they started. Audible listeners also highlight the suspense and mystery, though a few criticize the audiobook’s delivery or character portrayal.
Reddit surfaced at least one post sharing the book, but the available snippet does not provide substantive reader discussion. Overall, the strongest theme across review sources is that this book appeals most to readers who enjoy Christian Amish romantic suspense with a light mystery edge.
