MY THOUGHTS.....
Strange happenings in Sugarcreek, Ohio require some expert detective work, and who better to investigate than retired Chicago police officer Foster Bates? How about an amateur Amish detective named Fannie Miller? The Rise and Fall of Miss Fannie's Biscuits is a fun new cozy mystery from co-authors Wanda E. Brunstetter and Martha Bolton. I laughed as I helped search for clues and couldn't wait to see who was targeting the baking contestants vying for a $25, 000 grand prize! I was also intrigued by Foster and Fannie's relationship. Did they respect each other for their expert detective skills or was a romance brewing between this Amish baker and "English" investigator?
Quirky characters, a small community setting, and a sweet romance---this book is perfect for all who enjoy humor, whodunits, and life among the Amish. There's also a bonus: the recipe for Miss Fannie's Buttermilk Biscuits. I enjoyed The Rise and Fall of Miss Fannie's Biscuits and recommend it to all who enjoy cozy mysteries. Hopefully, there will be more adventures with Fannie and Foster!
I received a copy of this book from the authors and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
