Matchmaking Can Be Murder is the debut of the Amish Matchmaker Mystery series set in Harvest, Ohio and featuring quilter/matchmaker Millie Fisher. Having spent the last ten years in Michigan taking care of her ailing sister, Millie has returned to Harvest. She has purchased a tiny little farm and is happily residing with her two pet goats, Peter and Phillip and glad to be spending time with her widowed niece Edith and her three small children.

Millie has a gift when it comes to making matches between couples and friends and she knows that Edith is making a huge mistake marrying Zeke Miller. Not quite sure how to share her misgivings with Edith, Millie knows that she must say something so she travels to out to the family greenhouse and finds Edith standing over Zeke's dead body. Knowing that her niece is not a killer Millie sets out to clear her name and quickly discovers that Zeke was keeping a few secrets including the fact that he was also romantically involved with a local English girl.

This series is a spinoff from the author's Amish Candy Shop series, so readers will recognize some familiar faces. A lighthearted and fun plot with plenty of suspects and furry animals. I'm very much looking forward to spending more time with Amish Marple and her friend Millie.
