This is the third and final book in The Secrets of Crittenden County series. It is a good blend of mystery and romance that continues to work toward solving the mystery of what happened to Perry. As the mystery now begins to come to an end, the community and a romantic relationship are deeply affected. Once again, I kept guessing and turning pages wondering how it would all end, and I was most definitely not disappointed.

Although this is the final book of the series, it is followed by a novella, which is sure to add an extra special touch to the series. Be sure not to miss it.

excellent book anyone reading it would be hard pressed to put it down i know I was. I wanted to just keep reading till I finished it. absolutely excellent in every way. thank you so much.

Found is the last book in The Secrets of Crittenden County Series. I read this book in a day and a half. I just had to find out who killed Perry Borntrager. I thought I had it figured out when I was over halfway through this book. I was wrong, wrong, wrong! It shocked me to find out who really did it.

I loved the budding romances between Luke and Frannie, Walker and Lydia, and Jacob and Deborah. I do hope the author plans a book or books in the future that will let us know what happens to these characters we have come to love reading about.

Author Shelley Shepard Gray has never disappointed me with her books. I loved this trilogy. The mystery, the twists, the romance was a real page turner.

I can't wait to read Daybreak. I'm sure this one will be another great page turner!

I also just finished the last book in this series and loved it. Didn't see the ending coming at all until the very end. What a surprise. Makes you wonder what you'd do for your kids, doesn't it? I love these books and always wish there were more stories in the series. Love reading the continuing story of their lives and how the interact with others. Thanks, keep up the good work. I have also forwarded this series on to a friend.

Sometimes a series comes around, you find yourself reading the book so quickly, you realize you're finished before you know it. Then unfortunately there is the long wait before the next book in the series is released. The saddest part is when you realize you've reached the end of the series and you're reading the final novel. It's like saying goodbye to friends, you know you may never see again. Each of them has found a special place in your heart. That's exactly what happens in the conclusion to The Secrets of Crittenden County, by Shelly Shepard Gray in the book, Found.What I love about this series, is due to the length of time between books, you kinda forget what happened in the previous books, but Shelley solves that by offering a prologue to help you remember where you left off. LOVE this idea and wish more authors used this in their series!

Throughout this series, there has been the murder of an Amish man, Perry Borntrager, who was found lying dead at the bottom of a well and no apparent suspects. We've learned that Perry wasn't well-liked among his Amish neighbors and friends and was recently fired for stealing from the store he was working out. Perry appeared to be living more in the English world than the Amish one, and had recently broken up with his girlfriend, Lydia. It seems besides the fact that the Amish don't talk about their issues to anyone, especially outside the community, they have been keeping secrets from one another as well.

Now with the investigation finally wrapping up, we are about to learn who really killed Perry Borntrager as well as find out what will happen to some recent love developments that have happened along the series, especially with the Amish Inn owner, Frannie and the English detective, Luke Reynolds. Will they be able to find a way to make their relationship work despite their cultural differences? What role does love have to play in all this? Lydia has found love with Walker Anderson, but what secrets are they holding? Will Beth find love in the heart of the Amish or will it lead her to interests outside the community instead? What about the notes his sister, Deborah, has been hiding? What do they say? To find out, you'll definitely need to pick up this series, but start at the beginning with Missing, then The Search and finally Found!

I received Found by Shelley Shepard Gray compliments of Christian Fiction Blog Alliance and Harper Collins Publishers for my honest review. I've been so excited to be a part of this tour series from the beginning and am both sad and happy. Sad because as I stated above, it's over and it's hard to say goodbye to some of these amazing characters. I am also happy because even though along the way you may have been guessing, who did it and who will finally get together, you will finally have your answers and you might just be surprised when you find out. I rate this one a 5 out of 5 stars and once again will keep this one on my permanent shelf to read again!
