Series background & context
Brotherhood of the Raven is Perry's Lancaster County Amish suspense trilogy, and it is one of the places where she most clearly blends mystery with the Plain setting that readers associate with her. The books begin with Murder in Plain Sight and keep the stakes high from there.
The tension comes from collision.
These stories bring police work, old loyalties, outsiders, and Amish community life into the same space. A young Amish man is accused of murder. A disappearance throws everything into question. A returning photographer and a police chief have to put their history aside when violence strikes again. Perry is very good at showing how a criminal investigation lands differently in a community built on privacy, tradition, and mutual trust.
The romance in these books matters, but it never floats above the suspense. Love is tangled up with justice, past wounds, and the fear that the wrong choice could hurt more than one person. The series also benefits from its recurring setting, because Lancaster County is not just scenery. Farms, roads, churches, and family networks all shape what the characters can and cannot do.
If you want Perry's Amish fiction with a darker edge, start here. Read Murder in Plain Sight, Vanish in Plain Sight, and Danger in Plain Sight in order for the best sense of the emotional and investigative build.
