Mary B. Barbee is the author of the Amish Lantern Mystery Series. As an avid fan of all mystery and suspense in print, on television and in film, Mary believes the best mystery is one where the suspect changes throughout the story, keeping the audience guessing. She enjoys providing an exciting escape for a few hours with stories her readers can't put down - and always with a surprise ending.

When not writing, Mary is either playing a couple sets of tennis or a strategy board game with her two witty daughters and her kindly competitive mother. The four of them share a home in the Inland Northwest in the beautiful town of Spokane, Washington with their really cute - but sometimes naughty - chihuahua.

Mary loves to hear from her readers. Connec ...more

I selected this book because of the local author, the Poe award, and because I am a fan of cozy mysteries. However, I was simply unable to become fully immersed in the story.
