He acted so innocent
Wow! I did not see that coming. Lots of misdirection with this mystery that is finally resolved who did it. Ettie comes through again. I think she and Detective Kelly are getting along a lot better.

Love this series
Another great installment in this Amish Mystery series. It is always interesting to watch the sisters work on solving a murder. There are always a few twists involved, and the banter between the two sisters adds lightness to the story.
Another great book provided by my kindle unlimited subscription.

I love Ettie and Elsa-May. They get into so much mischief. This time and amish man is killed in his barn and then a few nights later another man is killed in the same barn. They find out that Thomas was into some bad stuff while he was on rumspringa and it is catching up with him. I had this one solved before the end maybe you can too.

A very good Amish mystery
This book was so good and it really showed how people get mixed up with the wrong people over drugs and money. It was a shame that young lives were so involved and cost 1 his life and another his freedom. I enjoyed this book from start to finish.

I love reading the Ettie and Elsa-Mae books. The writer Samantha Price brings the characters alive. It is like you are right with them.

Comedy and Murder
This was by far the funniest book. Yes, it's a Amish Murder Mystery, but parts of the book had me in stitches. Ettie and Elsa-May are a hoot.

A murder mystery.
The book was very well written and full of suspense. There were two murders which took place in a barn. The suspense made you want to read it straight through.
