COURTING CAN BE KILLER book review

 

COURTING CAN BE KILLER

by Amanda Flower

In the second Amish Matchmaker Mystery by USA Today bestselling author Amanda Flower, Millie Fisher has plenty to keep her busy through her golden years, whether it's minding a pair of rambunctious goats, meetings with her quilting circle, and matchmaking. But the witty widow always makes time to solve the odd murder...

Some Amish men don't know what's good for them. That's what Millie Fisher told herself when young Ben Baughman set his heart on marrying Tess Lieb. With Tess's father refusing to give his blessing and Tess's
ex-boyfriend being a wet blanket, the hapless couple was bound to butt heads more than Millie's Boer goats. But when Ben tragically dies in a mysterious fire, Millie wonders if someone in her hometown of Harvest, Ohio, wanted Ben out of the wedding picture altogether...

With the help of her quilting buddies, and her outspoken Englischer friend Lois, Millie is determined to patch together all the clues without even dropping a stitch. She only hopes it won't be the death of her...

MY REVIEW:  

5 Stars:  5/5 Star Rating

Who knew that courting could be a killer?  Who knew that matchmaking can get a woman in trouble?  Millie and Lois are insisting on helping the police solve the mystery of Ben's death in the fire at the local flea market, and the sweet, amusing pair of friends just don't heed the warnings along the way.  And they don't heed the deputies warnings to let them handle the investigating, leaving it to the professionals.   

I loved this mystery and I never did figure out "whodunit" until I read the ending.  I love mysteries that leave me guessing.  

I received a digital ARC of this book from netgalley and Kensington Books.   All opinions expressed are my own.
