Set in the fan favorite Amish village of Harvest, Ohio, the latest novel in USA Today bestselling author Amanda Flower's Amish Matchmaker series brings back the unlikely sleuthing duo of an Amish widow and her zany, thrice divorced best friend. Will appeal to fans of cozy mysteries, small-town mysteries, wholesome romance, inspirational fiction, and readers of Jennifer Beckstrand, Charlotte Hubbard, Rachel J. Good, and other authors of Amish fiction.
Millie’s decidedly not Amish best friend, Lois Henry, is outspoken, colorful, and so hopelessly romantic, she’s had four husbands. Millie doesn’t judge, and she also doesn’t expect to run into Lois’s most recent ex, gambler Gerome Moorhead, in small-town Harvest, Ohio. With him is the very young, new Mrs. Moorhead, aka “Honeybee.” Lois is outraged, but Millie is completely shocked to learn the next day that Gerome is already a widower . . .
When a large wood carving at the cozy Munich Chalet falls on “Honeybee,” all eyes turn toward Lois. Who else would want a tourist—a complete stranger—dead? And half of Harvest witnessed Lois’s enmity toward the young woman. Suddenly Millie must put aside her sewing needle and flex her sleuthing skills. She’s no stranger to a murder investigation, after all, and if she doesn’t learn who killed Honeybee, Lois could go from Millie’s boisterous best friend to her horrified prison penpal . . .
Millie and Lois
cannot catch a break, but they sure can catch a killer. These two ladies are a pure delight as they
go about their daily lives in the small town of Harvest, Ohio and as usual, they
are caught up in another murder. This
one hit Lois hard as it involves her fourth husband, apparently, she is not one
to give up on romance and finding love, which is at odds with her best friend,
Millie, the once married and now Amish widow.
I adore these two
characters, they are older, complete opposites who have managed to remain friends
for many years. They are always there
for each other, especially in this story as they once again team up to prove
the innocence of someone who looks mighty suspicious and find the real
killer. There are a lot of surprises, several
laugh out loud moments but most of all another well plotted, perfectly paced
wonderful novel by Amanda Flower. I was
kept guessing until the very end. I am
ready for the next book in this series. If you like a fantastic cozy mystery, I
highly recommend this one and the entire series.
I received a copy
