Book Description: When Agatha Lapp’s brother and sister-in-law are tragically killed in a buggy accident, Agatha relocates to the new Amish community in Hunt Texas, nestled in the Texas Hill Country. She’s there to make a success of her brother’s dream--an Amish B&B. Agatha is friendly, efficient, and capable. She's also a fifty-five year old widow who has learned to be independent. When she discovers Russell Dixon’s lifeless body in Cabin 3, she runs next door where retired detective Tony Vargas lives. The police determine that her guest died of natural causes, but as Agatha and Tony put together the events of the previous two days they become convinced that the police are Dead Wrong.
My Thoughts: I love books penned by Vannetta Chapman. I also love cozy mysteries so this book is a win-win for me.
And THIS book cover! It speaks of simplicity but, yet, there's that red color all throughout the cover. Do you see the little red Amish buggy to the right of the house? And that house! It's so big and elegant. What a nice B&B!
Then there's the name of the B&B-Agatha's Amish B&B. A reference to Agatha Christie maybe?
Agatha Lapp is one fiesta Amish woman and ever.so.efficient. If I were half as efficient as Agatha I'd have to get up pretty early in the morning to get it all done. And she does it all with ease and grace not to mention solving a mystery.
And the setting of the story takes place in the Texas hill country. Such a beautiful area.
This is a fun read. Even though it's a cozy mystery the lightheartedness of the story brings the reader to a happy place of all.is.right.in.the.world.
I loved, loved this story!
