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.
