Appleseed Creek Books 1 - 3

by Amanda Flower

For the first time, you can now get all three novels in Amanda Flower’s Appleseed Creek Mystery Series together in one trilogy book.

The series begins with the Amish mystery novel A Plain Death. After moving to Amish country, new resident and computer whiz Chloe Humphrey must take on the role of detective when she is involved in an accident that is soon after labeled as murder by local police. With God’s help, Chloe and the victim’s brother, a handsome Amish carpenter, must solve the mystery that is rocking this small Amish town. USA Today and New York Times best-selling author Shelley Shepard Gray reported she read the first book in this series “in one sitting” and could not wait to read the next!

The second installment in the Appleseed Creek Mystery Series is the novel A Plain Scandal. Soon after the dust has settled on the “accident thought to be murder” in the first book, we take another thrill-ride with Chloe Humphrey as she attempts to discover who is murdering the Amish and cutting off their hair and beards in Appleseed Creek. Chloe knows from before that finding the murderer and restoring peace to Appleseed Creek is as much her responsibility as anyone else’s in town and she is determined to do so.

It is Christmas time in Amish country, and once again we meet Chloe Humphrey in the final installment of the Appleseed Creek Mystery Series entitled A Plain Disappearance. Chloe has begun to settle in to her life in Appleseed Creek, and is excited to see where her new relationship with Timothy Troyer will lead. Unfortunately, it leads to another murder mystery when the couple discovers the body of Amish teenager Katie Lambright while on their first date. Timothy’s best friend Billy Thorpe is implicated in the crime, and it is discovered he has been living in Amish country for the past ten years under a stolen alias. Now, Chloe and Timothy must find Billy, and either bring him to justice or prove his innocence.

I just finished the first book in this book that includes the first three books, and it was great! Love the main protagonists and the unique story, very difficult to put down, and I jumped right into the second book. Very good...and surprising~ twisty-turny mystery! Quite suspenseful, as well. Highly recommend!

Just finished the second book in this series, and it also rates 5-stars and a place in My Favorites! I am so pleased with the surprising twists that both of these books had! If you also love unexpected twists that surprise you in your crime-drama- mystery reads, you would be very happy with this series! Now, on to book 3! :D

I happily rate all 3 -5-stars! I highly recommend this Amish-themed mystery series.I will definitely read the 4th book in this series~A Plain Malice,and I hope there will be even more to come.

By the 3rd book it was becoming harder to maintain interest.

I read this on the kindle

I hadn't read any books by this author & I wasn't disappointed this is a 3 book trilogy but there is another one after these in the series
Cholesbury moves to Applebee's Creek as Director of Technology at the local university & in each of these books there is a murder
In the 1st book she meets Becky & her brother Timothy he left the Amish years earlier Becky more recent
Over the books Chloe & Timothy get closer while they investigate the murders, police chief Rose ask in some for their help as Chloe is the one who finds the bodies
I found these books a very good read not the same as Agatha Christie but easy reading but not letting on who is the murderer I believe that this author has won the Agatha Christie award for her books

I love Amanda Flower she is a great person, I met her in Middlefield at a book signing in 2013 these two books were out and A Plain Disappearance was coming out. She writes down to earth Amish stories. Keeps you in suspense until the end. Looking forward to the next book.

While not too mysterious or suspense, the overall story was good. I like the interaction between the Amish and the English. The author also did a good job of informing the reader of the differences within each group of Amish.

[Kelly · Rating 2 out of 5]

Nice, but not very gripping. Main character makes friends with some Amish that have left the faith.

[Joanne Gibbons · Rating 5 out of 5]

Superb, as usual!

Everything I have read by Amanda Flower just gets better and better. Her A.ish Candy Shoppe series is positively delightful.

Great Mysteries

I really enjoyed these books. They're well written, good mystery, and some faith mixed in without​ being preachy.
I enjoyed the development of the romance, and how Chole came to love the Amish family. I recommend these books!
