Murder, Plainly Written
She just wanted to fit into Amish Country. . .now she's standing out! First novel in The Plain Order Ink Society series, in which Amish writers crack the case of local mysteries. Sadie Lynch thought inheriting her late Amish aunt's candle shop was a blessing--a chance to leave her stalled writing career behind and find a fresh start. But running a Plain business when she's not Amish isn't exactly filling her store with customers--especially when the local minister insists she sell out. Sadie, who doesn't want to leave, thankfully meets Wanda--an Amish woman with a secret obsession. As Wanda continues to visit the candle shop, an unexpected partnership blooms when Wanda agrees to help Sadie's shop in exchange for writing advice. But the grand reopening of the candle shop takes a deadly turn when the body of the Amish minister is discovered behind the counter. Now Sadie is the only suspect, prompting Wanda and the Plain Order Ink Society to try helping her solve the mystery. But in this Plain community, secrets burn brighter than flames--and nothing is as simple as it seems.
