Was it the Cream that did it???

 

My review of Hidden Poison by Tracy Fredrychowski.

Firstly, I must say thank you for my ARC of this book. The second in a series and a 5 star read. Like the first book it hooked me in from beginning to end. This one was a little more difficult to figure out and was glad that by the end I had been right about most of it. I love books like this where it makes me want to play detective. Our three elderly Amish sleuths were so sweet a s always and so very clever. It help that they knew the "g'may" and were Amish and could see and hear things that the sheriff couldn't. I like that while a cozy mystery we have a little bit of romance brewing so it will be great to read book 3 and see where these relationships go. This was definitely sad in many ways and also had me thinking. I didn't care for any of the bishops or ministers. In most other Amish fiction I have read they have been wise men and gentle in their approach to issues within the community. These all went in like bulls charging into a china shop and quite honestly if I had been a teenager in that community I most certainly would have been on the fence and would have avoided Baptism. This was a great second book that has left me wanting more. It was written so brilliantly as all of this author's books are and the characters were all believable. The conversations all seemed so real. I cannot wait to see what this three lovely lady sleuths get up to in the next installment.
