Review Quotes
Praise for Amanda Flower's Amish Candy Shop Mysteries: "This quirky whodunit--book four in the beloved Amish Candy Shop Mystery series-comes to life." --Woman's World, Book Club Pick on Toxic Toffee "Toxic Toffee agreeably mixes candymaking with murder investigation, and Bailey's ease with the community enables her to extract critical information in a place where the locals tend to clam up around "English" police. I love reading about the Amish, and I gobbled up this fast-paced, well-written novel that even brought tears to my eyes at the end." --Mystery Scene "Flower's mysteries are always welcome, and this series is wacky and warm, with just enough mystery to intrigue." --Akron Beacon Journal on Toxic Toffee "The quirky characters are colorful and fun to read. Flowers skillfully blends Amish and 'English' characters with a mystery that keeps the reader sleuthing along with Bailey. Prepare for a few smiles as Jethro the pig and Nutmeg the cat are back, as they are joined with Puff the bunny." --Crimespree Magazine on Toxic Toffee "Amanda Flower delivers a funny mystery full of twists that never misses a beat with plenty of heart, danger, comedy, and candy." --Seattle Book Review on Premeditated Peppermint "It's only been a few weeks since Bailey King's Amish grandfather died, but she's already taken on the responsibility of running his candy shop in the Holmes County community of Harvest." --Akron Beacon Journal on Lethal Licorice, an ABJ Best Local Books Choice for 2018 "Flower launches her new series by evoking the nightmare nuptials of The Final Vow (2017), throwing in a few Pennsylvania Dutch words to provide atmosphere in a cozy as light as the heroine's handmade mousse." --Kirkus Reviews on Assaulted Caramel "A promising start to a new series. I really enjoyed meeting Bailey's grandmother (Maami) and grandfather (Daadi) and learning a little more about the Amish way of life. Check it out!" --Suspense Magazine on Assaulted Caramel

Gingerbread Danger by Amanda Flower returns readers to Holmes County, Ohio where Bailey King has a little too much on her plate. I felt for Bailey. I do not know how she was going to get everything done. Margot Rawlings and Juliet, Aiden’s mother, do not hesitate to ask Bailey to do more tasks or babysit Jethro (that pig gets into more mischief). I like Amanda Flower’s writing style. It is friendly and engaging. I was quickly drawn into this cute Christmas cozy mystery. I like the characters, including the sweet animals. It was great to catch up with Millie, Uriah, and, Millie’s mischievous goats from An Amish Matchmaker Mysteries. The whodunit involves an employee from Bailey’s new factory. Naturally, Bailey is curious about the case since it involved her factory and employee. Someone, though, does not want Bailey sticking her nose into the crime. I enjoyed following Bailey and Jethro as they searched for clues and questioned suspects. I believe Bailey was a tinge happy to have an investigation to keep her away from her mother who is planning an over-the-top wedding for Bailey and Aiden (the one the mother did not get). Gingerbread Danger is the ninth An Amish Candy Shop Mystery, but it can be read as a standalone for new readers (I do recommend reading all the books in this charming series). I was sad when my visit to Holmes County came to an end. Gingerbread Danger is a lively cozy mystery with sweet treats, a pushy parent, a departed employee, a creepy Candyland game piece, an impish pig, tasty taffy, and a cheerful Christmas.
