Retired college professor P. L. GAUS lives with his wife, Madonna, in Wooster, Ohio.
Praise for P.L. Gaus' Amish-Country Mysteries "A sensitively
observed series."--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times "Gaus's
Amish-Country Mysteries examine the ethical, moral and scriptural
nuances of the Amish, and the challenges their community faces
co-existing with technology and temptations of the modern
world."--Sharon Short, Dayton Daily News (Ohio) Praise for Clouds
without Rain
"Of all the dastardly crimes that might spark a good whodunit, a
buggy robbery doesn't seem very promising--unless the author is P.
L. Gaus, who writes a discerning series set among the Old Order
Amish sects of Holmes County, Ohio... Gaus is a sensitive
storyteller who matches his cadences to the measured pace of Amish
life, catching the tensions among the village's religious
factions."--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Praise for Cast a Blue
Shadow "An interesting who-dunit read, keeping me guessing in
addition to providing insight into a unique way of life... This
insightful novel will satisfy your hunger for a good murder mystery
while it subtly educates you on the beliefs and values of a facet
of society most know little about."--Bonnie Papenfuss, The
Sahuarita Sun (Arizona) Praise for Harmless as Doves "For more than
a decade, P. L. Gaus has been writing quietly spellbinding
mysteries about one such group, the conservative Old Order Amish of
Holmes County, Ohio... [A] sensitive account of the impact on this
community when outsiders (that is, the cops) descend to deal with
an Amish youth who has confessed to the murder of his fiancee's
older, richer and very persistent admirer."--Marilyn Stasio, New
York Times "Gaus spins a fine mystery with a strong background of
Amish faith and plenty of detail on the difficulties the Amish face
in the modern age."--Michele Leber, Booklist "What makes this book
stand out as exceptional is the method in which Gaus describes
events. There is intrigue, tenderness, religion, and much
conflict... Blending of old-world culture with modern detective
work makes this continuation of the same characters in key roles
with different murders a true mystery series... If you like good
mysteries, without salacious sex or mayhem, and adash of religion
mixed in, you will want to read this book... A four star book and
is highly recommended."--Clark Isaacs, Reviewer's Bookwatch Praise
for The Names of Our Tears "Series regulars Professor Michael
Branden, in Pinecraft, and Pastor Cal Troyer provide comfort and
continuity in this eighth Amish-country mystery. Loose ends in the
murder case lend realism and augur well for the next
installment."--Michele Leber, Booklist Praise for Separate from the
World "With each new mystery, P. L. Gaus treats us to yet another
view of life among the Old Order Amish in Wayne County, Ohio...
[H]e has great admiration for the Amish themselves, writing with
quiet gravity about aspects of their lives rarely shown to
strangers."--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times "The latest in this
too-little-known series again combines a fascinating, realistic
look at an Amish community in Ohio with a gently satiric take on
academic life."--Barbara Bibel, Booklist
