P.L. Gaus Books in Order

P.L. Gaus crafts The Amish-Country Mysteries, an acclaimed series set authentically in the Amish settlements of Holmes County, Ohio. His novels follow the intricate lives of English characters as they navigate murder investigations alongside the enigmatic Amish community. The cast of characters includes Professor Michael Branden, his insightful wife Caroline, and a diverse range of other English and Amish individuals, each with their own complexities and motivations. Gaus's extensive knowledge of Ohio's Amish culture and lifestyle, gained from over forty years of travel and research, shines through in his meticulously crafted stories. As a writer of culture-based mysteries, he draws inspiration from the works of Tony Hillerman, whose own writing style and legacy have significantly influenced Gaus's unique approach. His eight published novels, republished by Plume, and the upcoming ninth installment, Whiskers of The Lion, have solidified his position as a master of the genre.
