Village Mystery #3
When delicious baked goods become lethal, a trail of
poetry leads to a sweet-toothed killer.
Don’t taste it /
Don’t share it /Just throw it away / If you try my bakery pie / You won’t live
to see another day.
The Amish Artisan
Village of Middlebury, Indiana, might be the last place you would ever
expect to find a murderer. But Amber has been managing the Village for decades
and there’s nothing she hasn’t seen. Or so she thought.
When poetic notes
begin appearing around the bakery, warning that some of the pies have been
poisoned, Amber is as confused as she is concerned. Who poisons pies? And more
to the point, who leaves poems of warning after they’ve done it? When Amber
decides to help the police track down the sweet-toothed saboteur, she enlists
Hannah Troyer for another round of Amish-style detective work.
Can Amber and Hannah
help the police before the Poison Poet strikes? Both women will need to draw on
their faith to preserve the peaceful community they’ve built in Middlebury . .
. and to protect the girls who work in the Amish Artisan
Village .

MURDER FRESHLY BAKED
is the third book in this series. It stands alone, but fans will want to read Murder Simply Brewed and Murder Tightly Knit to get the rest of
the story about Amber, Hannah, and The Amish Village murders.
Vannatta Chapman is
one of my favorite Amish cozy mystery writers and I am sad to see this series
end. I enjoyed my time spent at this Amish
Village , getting to know
the employees and those who live near there.
I figured out who
the poison poet was almost immediately. As soon as the poet through words that
Amber had spoken I knew who-dun-it. It was a struggle to keep reading after
that. The mystery was gone. I did keep going, a chapter here and a chapter
there, just because I enjoy Ms. Chapman’s cozy mysteries and because I promised
to read the book in its entirety. I was
glad the murdered person got right with certain people before. . .
4 stars. Available in ebook, print, and MP3 cd. 352 pages.
I obtained this book from the publisher in exchange for my
honest review.
