PLAIN DEAD is the third book in An Amish Mystery
series but does well as a
stand alone. Rachel Mast
was raised Old Order Amish, but she now lives in between
that world and
her English world. She is the owner of a bed and breakfast
and her
boyfriend is the local detective. Evan and Rachel have just
become
engaged but she still hasn't told anyone in her family.
She is afraid of
hurting them with the news because it will show them how
much she
has changed and won't be taking her baptismal vows. Her
past has just
slapped her in the face once again, and even though she
tries to bury it, we
all know how that goes.
Rachel has been getting ready for the Winter Frolic. It is
a week long craft
fair, which will hopefully bring lots of money the
community needs. She
is excited and has worked hard to get her small community
of Stone Mill
the growth it needs to survive. Her bed and breakfast is
booked solid from
the festival and life is running smoothly...until the nasty
and bitter
newspaper reporter, Bill Billingsly threatens Rachel with
exposing the truth
as to why she came back to Stone Mill. He is bringing so
much
embarrassment and heartache to so many people, and it looks
like Rachel
is next in line. He has gone too far with all this gossip,
and then he turns up
dead, frozen and naked on his front porch.
PLAIN DEAD is filled with mystery, suspense, and romance.
Everything
you could want in a delicious cozy. I love Rachel's
character and how she
is not afraid to keep digging until she finds out the
truth. The mystery in
PLAIN DEAD is well plotted and will keep you guessing as to
who did it. I
changed my mind on who it was a few times, and I love when
I think I have
it all figured out only to be thrown in a different
direction by the author.
Emma Miller is quickly becoming one of my favorite go-to
Amish authors.
PLAIN DEAD is very easy to read and well written. I cannot
wait to
continue with this wonderful series.
When a newspaperman is murdered in the Amish community of
Stone Mill, Pennsylvania, Rachel Mast digs up the dirt to
find out who wanted to bury the lead…
Although
she left her Old Order Amish ways in her youth, Rachel
discovered corporate life in the English world to be
complicated and unfulfilling. Having returned to Stone Mill,
she’s happy to be running her own B&B. But she’s also
learning—in more ways than one—that the past is not always
so easily left behind.
After local newspaperman Bill
Billingsly is found gagged and tied to his front porch, left
to freeze overnight in a snowstorm, Detective Evan
Parks—Rachel’s beau—uncovers a file of scandalous
information Billingsly intended to publish, including a
record of Rachel pleading no contest to charges of corporate
misconduct. Though Evan is certain of her innocence, it’s up
to Rachel to find the real killer. A closer examination of
the victim’s unpublished report leads Rachel to believe the
Amish community is far from sinless. But if she’s not
careful her obituary might be the next to appear in print…
