Book Description:
Tori Miracle is not a popular newcomer to the small Pennsylvania town of Lickin Creek. Her past — complete with mishaps and murder — precedes her. Nonetheless, she perseveres, volunteering to help with the annual house tour. The town's most stately home offers up a surprise skeleton when a tuxedo-clad set of bones is found in the springhouse of historic Morgan Manor. The body turns out to be that of a groom forty years late for his own wedding. But where is the bride? The couple, Rodney Mellott and Emily Rakestraw, both teachers at the local high school, disappeared four decades earlier — presumably eloping. What ended this fatal attraction, and what are members of the community so desperate to hide? Tori uncovers a crime of perverse secrets that must be kept hidden at any cost, and unfortunately may include her own untimely demise. A Tori Miracle Pennsylvania Dutch Mystery.

Another fun installment in the adventures of Tori in the Pennsylvania town. The characters continue to develop and are fun, if wacky. All in all, I really enjoy this series, but I would recommend reading them in order. Each one does stand alone, but it's helpful to understanding character motivation when you've read the earlier stories.

First book I've read by this author. I ended up liking the book and its quirky characters like Haley Haley and Big Bad Bob. There did seem to be more "book" than "story". All in all, it was OK>
