When beloved midwife Mary Troyer vanishes without a trace, the Amish community is left shaken—and fearful. Ruth Schuler knows something is wrong. Mary would never abandon her duties. Never leave without a word. But as Ruth begins to search for answers, she uncovers more than a simple disappearance. Hidden tensions. Quiet fears. And a secret someone is desperate to keep buried. The deeper she digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because this time, it’s not just about solving a mystery… It’s about finding Mary before it’s too late. With Lucas Weaver by her side—and time slipping away—Ruth must risk everything to uncover what really happened. Before silence turns permanent. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In a community built on trust, one disappearance threatens to unravel everything. Mary Troyer has always been a steady, comforting presence in the Amish community—a midwife devoted to bringing life safely into the world, and a woman known for her quiet strength and unwavering faith. So when she suddenly vanishes, fear spreads quickly. Mary would never leave without a word. Something is terribly wrong. Ruth Schuler feels it deeply. Still carrying the emotional weight of her previous investigations, Ruth is hesitant to step into another mystery. But as concern turns to urgency, she knows she cannot remain on the sidelines—not when someone’s life may be at stake. Determined to find the truth, Ruth begins to follow the faintest of clues. What she discovers unsettles her. Beneath the surface of their peaceful community lie hidden tensions—unspoken struggles, guarded secrets, and choices made in desperation. As Ruth digs deeper, she realizes Mary may have uncovered something she wasn’t meant to see. And someone may be willing to go to great lengths to keep it hidden. With Lucas Weaver offering steady support and quiet encouragement, Ruth presses forward. But time is slipping away—and every delay could mean losing Mary forever. As suspicion grows and the truth edges closer, Ruth must face a chilling possibility: Was Mary taken… or did she uncover a secret so dangerous that it led to her disappearance? The Vanishing Midwife is a gripping and emotional third installment in the Ruth Schuler Amish Mystery series—where faith is tested, courage is required, and the search for truth becomes a race against time.
