I’ve been borrowing this series on Kindle Unlimited and have enjoyed this series so far, even though there seem to be a lot of typos—including actually switching the names of characters. I’ve highlighted some of the errors, but I think they might be erased when I return to unlimited.
Anyway, speaking of this specific volume in the series, I was not quite as impressed. First of all, I have totally disliked the character Sabrina since the first time she was introduced. She also inherited a bunch of money in an earlier book, but I don’t remember an explanation about what happened to it. Did I miss it? Sabrina is far too worldly to be a typical Amish character. In this book, apparently she is now baptized and it is implied that she’s totally matured and put her old ways behind her, but I am still having trouble really liking the character, and totally wish Silvie would send her back to Ohio.
A few other things… I was totally unimpressed with the brother and sister both confessing to cover for the other. The brother demonstrated how selfish he was and did not show any affection for his sister at the beginning of the book, so I didn’t believe he would sacrifice himself for his sister. Also, Bailey’s problems are getting kind of boring. Time to let him put the FBI in his past. This is the only book in the series in which I guessed whodunnit before I was halfway through the book.
I’m still giving it an OK rating as the overall story idea was good, but besides my lack of fondness towards the featured characters, it wasn’t nearly as well executed as most of the other books in the series.

When an author is writing about a certain people or places they need to research their subject. With that being said there were a few outstanding things that I could not ignore. When Amish people start to use British terminology, such as being cheeky, or referring to a queue? While I DO understand what that means, Americans never use those terms (much less Amish) Another thing that was so unbelievable that it wrecked the story. An Amish woman pulls out a laptop computer and gets online at her home. Where would she get WIFI? Just curious to know. The Amish reject technology and modern ways, this would be a great way to be shunned. Plus she carries a mobile/Cell phone? Never. If this woman was a Mennonite that would make sense. I am not an expert of the Amish religion, but these things are pretty common knowledge.

Plain Murder(An Amish Mystery) by Samantha Price is the eighth book in the Amish Secret Widows’ Society. Sabrina works at a horse auction for Mr Caruthers. Silvie comes to visit her sister at work and discovers Mr Caruthers’s body in a horse stall. A mystery follows setting up his three children as possible muderers. Bailey helps the police chief solve the case. Another cozy Amish mystery.

Bailey is trying to keep his past in the pass and move forward with his new life with the Amish. He gets pulled into helping the widow's solve a case. Plain Murder is book 8 in the Amish Secret Widow's Society. Always well written and page turners, I never have guessed it right who dun-nit in her books. That's a great author.

Plain Murder
As all the books 1-8, each one is quite interesting, especially involving the Amish as the author did, then when Silvie meets a FBI Agent and through a period of time fall in love, he left the English life to become Amish, but still helps Dec. Crowley from time to time. One thing brothers me are the typos I have found as I read each book, It could make it confusing as the books are read

Another great mystery murder.
When Sabrina's boss is found dead by her sister Silvie, detective Crowley, Bailey, and the widows have another crime to solve.
This proves to be complicated since to people confess to the murder saying the other had nothing to do with it.
Will the team figure who the real killer is??

A story concerning murder.
There was suspense throughout the book. It explained the details of the murder. The story of the murder was well written.
