Plain Pursuit (Barefoot Bill's Amish Mysteries Book 1) by Roy Troyer


 

Two random camel thefts. One link between them. Can this young sleuth unravel the mystery before catastrophe strikes?

Bill Kurtz is perpetually curious. Precocious and nearly always barefoot, the fourteen-year-old can't resist investigating when camels are snatched from a local farm. He's determined to help even though the clues point toward a disreputable fellow Amish community member.

Refusing to ignore a growing suspicion that the theft is more than it seems, Bill pushes on, all the way to Cleveland. More camels disappear at the Zoo, cryptic notes surface, and a Palestinian march crops up; leaving Bill with the realization that the truth may be bigger and more dangerous than he’s ready for.

Can Bill escape the march in time to disrupt a nefarious plot and slip out of the grasp of a shadowy gang?

My Review


This was a quick read, but filled with danger.
Bill is a 14 year old Amish boy, with a lot of knowledge, and this does at times get him in trouble.
One fact was camels being raised by the Amish, I really didn't know that, but its true!
Now what do stolen camels have to do with this story? Evil is lurking here, hate, and Bill has become aware through clues. He sure kept me page turning, what is going on?
I found the subject matter here, so relevant to what is happening in the world today, and loved the way the author brought it all alive! We need to be aware!
Now I want to read more about Bill and his detective adventures!
I received this book through the Author, and was not required to give a positive review.
