A Plain Disappearance

GIVEAWAY

FLOWER, AMANDA
A PLAIN DISAPPEARANCE

It’s Christmastime in Amish Country, and Chloe Humphrey has begun settling into her life in Appleseed Creek excited to see where her new relationship with Timothy Troyer will lead. Unfortunately it leads to murder when the couple discovers the body of Amish teenager Katie Lambright while on their first date.

Near the scene there is evidence that Timothy’s friend and auto mechanic Billy Thorpe is involved with the crime. The police reveal Billy is not really who he said he was and has been living the last decade in Knox County under a stolen alias. Now, Chloe and Timothy must find Billy, bring him to justice, or prove his innocence.

My Review:

The third book in An Appleseed Creek Mystery, A Plain Disappearance is just as good as the first two. Readers will be reunited with some well-loved characters that feel like family. No worries for those of you who haven't read the other books in the series though because this story reads well as a standalone but series fans will still get an extra kick out of it. :-)

The mystery is solid and I totally didn't solve it until the very end. Love it when a mystery keeps me on my toes like that.  Flower really knows how to pace the suspense while interspersing sweet romance and a few interesting character twists  along the way. And the solid message of forgiveness adds substance and wonder to an already stellar read. This is a quirky, cozy mystery that you don't want to miss out on!

    I love Amish fiction and mysterys both so this is a double treat. I have just returned from Montgomery and Washington, Indiana where one of the largest Amish communities is. We came back with an assortment of jellies and jams and had lots of fun.
    Thank you so much for having this giveaway,
