LET'S GET COZY! MURDER, SIMPLY STITCHED: A PREVIEW AND GIVEAWAY

GIVEAWAY ENDED
MURDER, SIMPLY STITCHED
An Amish Quilt Shop Mystery
BY ISABELLA ALAN

ABOUT THE BOOK:
When Angela Braddock enters her quilts in an Amish auction, she never expects one of her neighbors to end up going, going, gone....

Angie is finding her niche as the new owner of her late aunt’s Amish quilt shop, Running Stitch. But as the summer is winding down, so is business. To bolster support for the shop, Angie decides to sell her quilts in the Rolling Brook Amish Auction, including some of her aunt’s most prized works.

The quilts promise to be a hit—but the gavel comes down on the lively event when Angie stumbles upon the body of township trustee Wanda Hunt behind a canning shed. The cause of death: a poisoned blueberry fry pie from Rachel Miller’s bakery table. Now Angie’s closest friend is a murder suspect. With Angie taking the lead, she and the other women of her aunt’s quilting circle set out to patch together the clues and stop a killer set on shredding the simple peace of Rolling Brook.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Isabella Alan is the pseudonym for Amanda Flower. Amanda Flower, an Agatha-nominated mystery author, started her writing career in elementary school when she read a story she wrote to her sixth grade class and had the class in stitches with her description of being stuck on the top of a Ferris wheel. She knew at that moment she’d found her calling of making people laugh with her words. Her debut mystery, Maid of Murder, was an Agatha Award Nominee for Best First Novel. Amanda is an academic librarian for a small college near Cleveland.

Did someone want to kill Wanda or was she just the unfortunate eater of the poisoned pie? And how are they going to catch the murderer? Not sure but I'd love to find out. I also want to know what a blueberry fry pie is.

I have never read anything Amish and a quilting store has my interest. Looking forward to seeing who the murderer is in this small town could be.
