"Every year, residents of the small Amish community in Monte Vista, Colorado, look forward to the Ski Hi Stampede, the state's oldest professional rodeo. The rodeo is always good, clean entertainment for the hardworking farmers of the San Luis Valley. But this year, the Stampede turns deadly for one Amish man. Did rodeo fans see an unfortunate accident? Or something more sinister? Amish bishop Henry Lapp is known far and wide for his uncanny ability to draw and remember the smallest details of anything he's seen, skills that have served him well in past investigations. He was at the rodeo that day. The problem? He didn't see Jason Scott's death. With a murderer on the loose and members of his community being threatened, Henry must act fast. But can he solve a crime he didn't see? This time around, Henry will have to rely on his keen sense of human character and observation, skills he's honed in his role as bishop, if he hopes to crack the case. What the Bishop Knows is a story of accepting our talents, putting one another first, and trusting that God will care for His children"--… (mehr)

Were you wondering if Henry seen another murder? Well what if Henry did not and though the person does not know that. The murderer seem to think he knows more about Jermiamiah murder?

What of his talents, he does not see him or know that he there. Henry does embrace his talent. Will is solved the crime or not? Emma knows Henry did not see what happen and so does the police though they did ask him if his special talent would help.

Do they know that the murderer is living among them? Does Naomi know more than any of the youngsters. The young adults appear brought into this murder. Is it personal or not?

Two girls get kidnapped but why and for what reason? How is Henry and Emma involved? I seem that there a secret going on and that get reveal as well

Vannetta does a wonderful job of doing it and closing out the series. What up with having a bishop that knows and seem to find all the clues. See if he can help the English police to solve the crime. ( )

This series has been so fun to read. The author has a gift for detail and makes her characters so easy to relate to. Henry Lapp has a unique gift that comes in handy . He can remember even the tiniest of details that he has seen. His ability to draw those details is a gift that I'm sure many police stations would love to have on their staff. I can't remember my own phone number sometimes, so this gift would be a treasure to have.

As the annual rodeo in Monte Vista, Colorado gears up, an unexpected tragic event happens. Jeremiah has everything to look forward to. He is in the rodeo hoping for a career when he is shot. I would immediately be looking for Henry to help pinpoint who the killer is. Funny thing about gifts, though. Sometimes they aren't as good as you think they are. Henry is upset that he didn't see anything but maybe he can convince his Amish community to speak up. Amish aren't ones to get the police involved in their problems so Henry is going to have to be on his game to get the killer behind bars.

The story is filled with intrigue and I loved how the author draws you in with emotional twists and turns. I have always like Henry and the love of his life, Emma. Will this case cause Emma to second think marrying Henry? His gift would be a challenge to have to live with, so Emma must really search her heart. Let's not forget about Jeremiah, our deceased in the story. What secrets did he have that could have caused him to be a target? I was surprised at who turned out to be the killer and why they did it. It just shows how creative the author is when you can keep readers guessing til the end. I'm sad to see the series end, but very pleased with the ending. It is a fitting send off for a series that captured the essence of unconditional love and forgiveness.

I received a copy of this book from the author. The review is my own opinion. ( )

Title: Who the Bishop Knows (The Amish Bishop Mysteries #3)
Author: Vannetta Chapman
Pages: 352
Year: 2018
Publisher: Harvest House
My rating is 4 out of 5 stars.
Henry Lapp and Emma Fisher are attending the annual rodeo in their small community of Monte Vista, Colorado. It is the state’s oldest professional rodeo and a source of entertainment for those from miles around. The Amish and English both attend and enjoy the event together. Before the professionals take the stage, it is amateur hour for those who aspire to join the professional circuit. A young Amish man, who is still enjoying his Rumspringa, has his sight set on this career, but someone has another idea in mind. As Jeremiah Schwartz leaves the shoot to tackle a steer, he is shot. Henry hears the shot, but has been waiting in line for hot dogs. He is unable to use his remarkable gift of drawing an exact recreation of the scene at the time of the shot as he wasn’t watching the rodeo.
The local authorities know about Henry’s ability, but this time they need his help convincing the Amish to help the authorities. Henry questions and observes various people as he tries to ferret out the killer. A dark side to young Jeremiah is revealed, but will this lead Henry to the killer? Is there anyone else in the killer’s sight? Emma longs to marry Henry and start their married life together. She wants nothing to do with any more mysteries. Two have been enough for her, thank you very much! She wants to help Henry and support him in his role as bishop to their Amish community, so she prays for all involved.
I’m sorry to see this series end as I have enjoyed getting to know Henry and Emma. The conclusion to this novel is touching and sincere. I admire Henry and his ability to pray during the most stressful situations with such heart. Emma is practical and a real “Martha”, but her love for Henry is evident throughout. The mystery portion of this novel wasn’t as gripping as the first two novels, and the first third to half of the book was slow going, but the second half got much better. The ability of Henry to gather the community of Amish and work together, as well as work with Englishers to bring a criminal to justice was awesome! The reminder that God takes care of His own was great to see in the story. This is a series that will hold readers captive for hours of enjoyment, so get all three books today! ( )

Book three of The Amish Bishop Mysteries, Who the Bishop Knows, created an enjoyable diversion in between projects I had procrastinated doing. The story opens with a death at the local rodeo. The bishop, who usually discovers the answers to crime through his photographic mind, wasn't there when the murder occurred. His vibrant, caring community trusts him and the longer the suspect is out there the more tension builds. He must rely on his drawings to see anything unusual.
You will find this book delightful as well as the characters.
I received a copy from Net Galley. I was not compensated for this review. All thoughts are my own. ( )

Excellent story! Keeps your heart racing and your mind wondering what’s going to happen next. Love how unique the 3 Stories in this series have been but I also love how they are all connected from book to book. Each story builds on the previous in a great way. Loved the little bit of sweet clean romance. It adds just enough to make the story reach new heights. The characters are well developed and lifelike. Not fake. The series was wrapped up well.
I received a digital copy of this book from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review. ( )
