Murder, Plain and Simple
Murder, Plain and Simple: An Amish Quilt Shop Mystery | Isabella Alan
3 posts | 8 read | 6 to read
First in a new series! When Angela Braddock inherits her late aunts beautiful Amish quilt shop, she leaves behind her career and broken engagement for a fresh start in Holmes County, Ohio. With her snazzy cowboy boots and her ornithophobic French bulldog, Angie doesnt exactly fit in with the predominantly Amish community in Rolling Brook, but her aunts quilting circle tries to make her feel welcome as she prepares for the reopening of Running Stitch. On the big day, Angie gets a taste of success as the locals and Englisch tourists browse the stores wares while the quilters stitch away. But when Angie finds the body of ornery Amish woodworker Joseph in her storeroom the next morning, everything starts falling apart. With evidence mounting against her, Angie is determined to find the culprit before the local sheriff can arrest her. Rolling Brook always appeared to be a simple place, but the closer Angie gets to the killer, the more she realizes that nothing in the small Amish community is as plain as it seems....

Who is participating in #CozyInTheSun this year? During the month of July, read as many cozy mysteries as you would like - the Litten who reads the most earns a special reward. @ferskner and I keep track of the entries - use the hashtag above and tag us too!

For those looking for inspiration, I love this series. This is the first, featuring a snarky 30-something woman who leaves behind her life in Dallas to run an Amish quilt shop. So good!

Murder in Amish country - cozy mystery style! Angela inherits her Amish aunt‘s quilt shop, and she immediately decides to move to Ohio and run the shop. But, some of the Amish are not as excited to see an Englisher run the shop. Murder happens, and Angela is a prime suspect. Add a dog scared of birds and a cast of quirky characters, and this is a fun cozy mystery. A few snarky remarks make it quite entertaining.
