Murder, Served Simply (Amish Quilt Shop, Bk 3)
VolunteerVal avatar reviewed on + 598 more book reviews


This is the third book in this cozy mystery series about Angie, a woman whose 7-year relationship ends and her beloved Amish aunt passes, leaving Angie her quilt shop in an Amish community in Ohio.

Angie's parents come to Ohio to celebrate Christmas with her, and as a surprise they bring Ryan with them, the fiance who jilted her, now realizes his mistake, and wants her back. The plot revolves around "An Amish Christmas", a play being performed that is anything but Amish and upsets many, especially because the star of the show is a young woman who was raised Amish but left the community to pursue an acting career in NYC.

The murder and the resolution were rather creative. There's lots of relationship talk as Angie figures out whether she wants to resume her relationship with Ryan or take the next step in her developing relationship with the town's handsome sheriff.
