Amish | Mystery Cozy

Millie Fisher has a knack for knowing when a relationship is meant to be. Unfortunately, she also knows without a doubt that her beloved niece, Edith Hochstetler, isn’t headed for true love and happiness with her fiancé, Zeke Miller. After all, Edith owns the very lucrative Edy’s Greenhouse and Millie senses Zeke is more interested in Edith’s money and business than he is in Edith herself. Millie is relieved when Edith cancels the engagement but horrified when Zeke’s dead body is found in the greenhouse- with Edith standing over him. Can Millie and the members of the Double Stitch quilting group help clear Edith’s name?

Amanda Flower has a gift for creating likable characters, the kind you want to pull up a chair and chat with while working on a quilt or munching on some scrumptious candy from Swissmen Sweets. I love the Amish town of Harvest, Ohio, and it’s such a joy to visit with familiar faces while getting to know new ones, such as Millie. And oh, I adore the concept of a matchmaker with a talent for recognizing true love!

MATCHMAKING CAN BE MURDER is the first book in the Amish Matchmaker Mystery series but fans of Amanda Flower will notice characters from her Amish Candy Shop series, including a short appearance by Jethro, the potbellied pig. MATCHMAKING CAN BE MURDER is a delightful cozy mystery, full of wonderful characters and an intriguing mystery. If you love cozy mysteries, don’t hesitate to give MATCHMAKING CAN BE MURDER a try.

SUMMARY

Matchmaking can be murder . . . 
 
When widowed Millie 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 stitched 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 . . .
