Lemon Drop Dead

Amish Candy Shop Mystery Series, Book 6

By: Amanda Flower

Narrated by: Rebecca Mitchell

Murder always leaves a sour taste....

Although baby showers aren't an Amish tradition, Bailey King wants to celebrate Emily Keim's forthcoming bundle of joy. It's the least she can do for her hardworking assistant at Swissmen Sweets, especially with Emily being estranged from her siblings. Everyone in Harvest, Ohio, has gathered at the town gazebo - decked out in lemon-themed decor to add some of Emily's favorite flavor to the festivities - including Juliet Brook, Jethro the Pig, and in a last-minute invite, Emily's sister, Esther Esh.

But Esther isn't the only surprise guest. A mysterious Amish woman confronts Emily claiming to know about her secret shame - the child she had as a teenager who was given up for adoption. The stranger vanishes before Bailey could find out who she was and if she knew what happened to Emily's first baby. Later that evening, the woman reappears - dead in Esh Family Pretzels, with a threatening letter written by Esther found on her body.

Emily knows her sister is not a murderer and convinces Bailey to help clear Esther's name and put the squeeze on the real killer....

Great story

This was my favorite book so far but I have loved them all. The story line and narration were both fantastic.

Esther's evolution

I like the flow of the story; the cohesiveness. I love Charlotte's evolution as well and her eagerness to embrace a new mindset and a different way of life that makes her happy.

Best yet.

This is the best one of the series. Can’t wait to see what happens next. I’m beginning to love Jethro.

Not a lemon of a Story

Again Amanda has put together a wonderful story in the Amish community. So much fun and it keeps you guessing to the last page.

Good narration

This is the first in the series I haven't read physical copies of so hearing the Amish accents was nice.
