About this listen
Paying homage to the queen of mystery, Agatha Christie, this contemporary whodunit weaves an atypical tale of illusion and intrigue set in the picturesque Amish enclave of Paradise, Pennsylvania.
A year ago, still haunted by the tragic events of September 11, Tina Sheng reluctantly served as a Christian summer camp counselor in Paradise.
Now working as an insurance fraud investigator in nearby Lancaster, Tina, along with her quirky friend Amelia Pak, finds a series of internet posts about a faceless doll that appears with each occurrence of death. The writer warns that a serial killer is at large.
After a beloved friend passes, a similar doll is discovered in his hospital room. Law enforcement finds no evidence of foul play. Then a prominent local is found dead with a faceless doll at the body’s side, and the case becomes complicated when the spouse files an insurance claim, drawing Tina into the investigation.
To solve the mystery, Tina and her friends must navigate a web of deceit, greed, and power. As the drama unfolds, the truth may be even more twisted than anyone could have imagined.
Can justice be served?

Story
This nonfiction audiobook will tell the story behind the upcoming film All Saints. The movie is inspired by the true story of salesman-turned-pastor Michael Spurlock, the tiny church he was ordered to shut down, and a group of refugees from Southeast Asia. Together, they risk everything to plant seeds for a future that might just save them all. Michael's first assignment as their new pastor is to close down All Saints, a dilapidated country church with a dozen devoted members and a mortgage well beyond its means.
