Murder Freshly Baked - An Amish Village Mystery

Marc Notes: The Amish Artisan Village in Middlebury, Indiana, has been decorated with every colour of balloon and flower for the Race for a Cure. As manager of the Village, Amber Bowman is thrilled to see the turnout - and relieved to have something to distract her from the 'Poison Poet' - an individual who has been sending notes containing bad poetry to warn of poisoned baked goods. Then Ryan Duvall crosses the finish line of the race - and falls down dead, murdered in broad daylight. But who did it? And why?. Publisher Marketing: When delicious baked goods become lethal, a trail of poetry leads to a sweet-toothed killer. Don t taste it / Don t share it /Just throw it away / If you try my bakery pie / You won t live to see another day. The Amish Artisan Village of Middlebury, Indiana, might be the last place you would ever expect to find a murderer. But Amber has been managing the Village for decades and there s nothing she hasn t seen. Or so she thought. When poetic notes begin appearing around the bakery, warning that some of the pies have been poisoned, Amber is as confused as she is concerned. Who poisons pies? And more to the point, who leaves poems of warning after they ve done it? When Amber decides to help the police track down the sweet-toothed saboteur, she enlists Hannah Troyer for another round of Amish-style detective work. Can Amber and Hannah help the police before the Poison Poet strikes? Both women will need to draw on their faith to preserve the peaceful community they ve built in Middlebury . . . and to protect the girls who work in the Amish Artisan Village." Review Citations:
