Publisher Description
First in a new series!
When Angela Braddock inherits her late aunt’s 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 doesn’t exactly fit in with the predominantly Amish community in Rolling Brook, but her aunt’s 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 store’s 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....
Customer Reviews
A good cozy mystery
This book flowed nicely and was a quick entertaining read. Having lived many years ago near this area and having experience with the Amish was an extra bonus
What a lovely story, and a fun read!
All the personalities are nicely developed. The good people are very likable, people I would love to have as friends. The antagonists develop slowly, carefully into their roles. I was not able to guess the murderer, but towards the end, everything came together very nicely.
I love the fact that wasn't any sex, minimal violence, no course language, and gentle references to God and Faith. The story was not rushed, and there was plenty of suspense without being too intense.
The town and scenery was very nicely described, and made me feel like I was on vacation there.
I am looking forward to reading the whole series. I highly recommend this book. Loved it!
