Synopsis:
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 Thoughts:
Another
great mystery, these books keep getting better. The characters are well
fleshed out, the story moves along nicely, and kept me interested. I
also liked that the romance between Chloe and Timothy is progressing,
it's believable and they have good chemistry. Her description of the
setting makes me want to visit Amish country and learn all that I can
about that culture. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment
in the series.
It's a four tea-cupper:
About the Author:
Amanda Flower, an
Agatha-nominated mystery author, started her writing career in
elementary school when she read a story she wrote to her sixth grade
class and had the class in stitches with her description of being stuck
on the top of a Ferris wheel. She knew at that moment she’d found her
calling of making people laugh with her words. Her debut mystery, Maid
of Murder, was an Agatha Award Nominee for Best First Novel. Amanda is
an academic librarian for a small college near Cleveland. She also
writes mysteries as Isabella Alan.
