MATCHMAKING CAN BE MURDER

Matchmaking can be murder...

When widowed Mille Fisher moves back to her childhood home of Harvest, Ohio, she notices one thing right away -- the young Amish are bungling their courtships and marrying the wrong people! A quiltmaker by trade, Millie has nevertheless stictched together a few lives in her time, with truly romantic results. Her first mission? Her own niece, widowed gardener Edith Hochstetler, recently engaged to rude, greedy Zeke Miller. Anyone can see he's not right for such a gentle young woman -- except Edith herself.

Pleased when she convinces the bride-to-be to leave her betrothed before the wedding, Millie is later panicked to find Zeke in Edith's greenhouse -- as dead as a tulip in the middle of winter. To keep her niece out of prison -- and to protect her own reputation -- Millie will have to piece together a patchwork of clues to find a killer, before she becomes the next name on his list....

My Review:

Eeep! Eeeeppp! Eeeeeepppp! Amanda Flower has a new Amish mystery series and it's set in the same town as The Amish Candy Shop Mystery series -- which she's still adding to. How clever and fun is that?!

The first series is from the perspective of an Englisch heroine who has Amish roots while this one is from an Amish perspective. But we get some of the same secondary characters (and some new ones) and the familiar quirkiness of small town life Harvest style. It makes for a clever switch up which I haven't seen done before. And Jethro the pot belly pig even makes a cameo. :-)

He doesn't outshine Phillip and Peter though -- they would be Millie's mischievous guard goats. :-) She's a mature widow with a gift for matchmaking and, as it turns out, snooping. Aided and abetted by her quilting circle and Lois, her colorful Englisch sidekick, Millie's sleuthing career is off to a hilariously entertaining start.

A solid mystery with enough twists and turns to make me dizzy paired with an intriguing glimpse into the Amish culture made this a five-start-stand-up-and-cheer cozy read for me! Yeehaw -- can't wait for the next book In Amanda Flower's Amish Matchmaking Mystery series!
