Matchmaking Can Be Murder (An Amish Matchmaker Mystery Book 1)

By: Amanda Flower

Rating: 4 of 5

This is the second Amish mystery series I have begun reading by Amanda Flower. This series is a spin-off of the first, the Amish Candy Shop mysteries.)

In this story, Millie Fisher has come back to Harvest, Ohio. She is a widow who spent the last ten years taking care of her sister whose health was failing.

Millie is a matchmaker and she intends to start up her business, helping both the Amish and the English find their true companion. Sadly, her niece Edith, had chosen her first husband unwisely and appears to be heading down the same path with her new fiance.

When a murder occurs and Edith comes under suspicion, Millie and her newly re-found friend from childhood, decide to pull out all stops to find the real murderer.

The first in a series is always a little slow because so many characters are introduced. I found the first half of this story to be just that, a little slow. It picked up by the end and I am looking forward to more in the series.

I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
