Murder, Simply Stitched By Isabella Alan


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.   Includes Quilting Tips!

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.

Are you all ready for the number one cozy mystery of the year so far? This is your book then.
I fell in love with the characters. You must get to know Angie.
No other author can write a suspense book like Alan she can make you wander on one page and laugh out loud with her words.
Get ready to spend an evening reading because you will not be able to put this book down once you crack it open.
Alan has included Quilting tips in this book as well. I loved it.
Keep a look out for Murder, Most Scrumptious in December 2014, I can't wait for it!
