Amish Christmas Mystery by Samantha Price. Just loved it. Ettie and her sister, Elsa-May are getting ready for a quiet Christmas when a series of knocks happen at their door. One by one uninvited guest shows up with dishes for a covered dinner Christmas Supper that neither sister had planned. Myra, Ettie's daughter who left the family years ago even showed up. Just about the time all had arrived and they were getting ready to eat, Santa burst through the door and announced that there was a dead man on the sidewalk in front of their house. Santa??? In Amish Country??? A dead man in Ettie and Elsa-May's yard???A party that no one seems to be giving???? What else could happen to Ettie and Elsa-May? Quite a bit thanks to the wonderful imagination of the author, Samantha Price. Again Samantha weaves a tale that can't be beaten. Join her and her wonderful characters in this Christmas Mystery adventure. You will never know "Who done it" until the very end. You will be glad you did.

Another great mystery by Samantha Price. love Christmas stories but this one has a twist has a murder in it. How would you feel all kinds of people showing up at your house for a Christmas dinner. All uninvited but some how was invited by invitation, Then to top off the who done it to who was murdered in the front yard, Wow what a page turner. Great read. If you haven't been reading the series please check it out guaranteed you won't stop. Wonderful well written story awesome characters.

Ettie and her sister find themselves hosting a Christmas party that neither of them knew anything about. People just started showing up, with food, and saying they were invited. One of the guests is Ettie’s estranged daughter. Things get even weirder when a dead man is discovered in the yard. And don’t forget the visit by someone claiming to be Santa Claus. Ettie has to figure out what is going on before her daughter gets arrested for murder. These Amish characters are interesting if a bit unusual. The story is a quick read, perfect for the Christmas season when you need a short break from the usual things like shopping and planning. A little murder definitely is a change of pace!

Then people just keep showing up and bringing food. Santa Claus finds Earl Fuller murdered on Ettie's front lawn. Everyone is a suspect his wife Naomi that he left years ago who is at the party, Myra Michael. It takes it some turns before you find the killer very good mystery

I Read this on the kindle

This is the 10th in the series

This was a good one I can't say I like Ettie's daughter Myra she left the Amish but blames her mum for raising her Amish she may as well blame her for having her
There were enough people who would have reasons to kill Earl but who did

So many suspects

Earl had so many enemies that it took a snit to unravel this one. It didn’t help that it was Christmas and Santa Claus found the body. You gotta read this one to get all the twisties out if it.

I'm not sure I understand the appeal of the Amish genre after reading this. But I'm willing to try some others at some point. I'll have a more in depth review posted here after it goes live on my blog.

Ettie gets a visit from her astringed daughter... Guess I can say, glad she isn't in Ettie's life more. She would drive me nuts. Good mystery and the trail to finding the guilty.

The Worst Christmas Party Ever

I never grow tired of Ettie and Elsa-May. They are Amish super sleuths. Murder always seems to find them. I hope Samantha Price will let these dear ladies live to be two hundred year's old. I've have truly enjoyed reading each one of the ten books. . Each one stands alone . Each one of the series books is about ten different murders. Always fun to read.

I gave this book 5stars. It is a book that I highly recommend. I love the way these older ladies work with the detectives to solve the murders. They are two sassy ladies for sure.
