Innocent by

4.0

The Innocent by Ann H. Gabhart is yet another terrific installment in the series of Shaker novels set at Harmony Hill. Set directly following the Civil War, it features a beautiful war widow, her dog, and a handsome sheriff. Centered around mysterious happenings at the Shaker village and the town surrounding Harmony Hill, The Innocent is a little more suspenseful than the previous Shaker titles, but no less fascinating. I don't think I will ever tire of reading these fictionalized stories of this strange sect. The Innocent is slightly lacking as far as romances go and I wish there could have been more interaction between the hero and heroine, but the sisterly camaraderie between Carlyn and Sister Berdine makes up for it. Overall, The Innocent is worth the read and deserving of a permanent spot on the shelf in the library!
