In Dutch Again: An Amish Country Mystery

I have read several books by Barbara Workinger, and love her mysteries. The Amish Country is such an interesting area, and she has them down to a "T". I am so happy she has kept on writing since she has moved and am looking forward to more of her books,

In this book, author Barb Workinger visits the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country to show that even secluded Amish communities can't escape conflict and crime. The characters of Carolyn and Granny Hannah are as interesting a contrast as Lancaster itself--the traditional and contemporary side by side. Infused with touches of humor, interesting facts about "plain people," and intriguing mysteries, this book multitasks for readers everywhere.

Granny Hanny,is a spirited, can-do woman despite her adherance to her Amish faith. She is a reknown quilter, a closet mystery reader and knows everyone in the PA Amish area where she lives. When her nearest neighbor is murdered, Hanny finds the body. The police regard the killing as a break-in, and say the killer is probably miles away, Hannah decides, with the help of her formerly Amish, attorney granddaughter, Caroline, to investigate. Before long a second body is found and Hanny realizes she and Caroline may be next. This Book cannot be put down until the end. I loved it! Great story and unique setting.

What a lucky find this delightful mystery was! The Pennsylvania Amish area is clearly and knowingly pictured, and it against this canvas, the engrossing mystery plays out. The characters are unique and intriguing. In Dutch Again is a thoroughly enjoyable read and I would recommend it highly.Granny Hanny and Caroline are two people this reader can't wait to know more about. I look forward to the sequel in this original, spirited series.

What a super surprise to find this new book. Granny Hanny is an Amish Miss Marple with spunk and brains. This mystery, which is sweet and sassy is a fast paced ride though Pennsylvania Amish country. Hannah Miller, an Amish quilter, and a closet mystery fan, finds the body of a murdered neighbor and the hunt begins for the killer. Along with her formerly Amish granddaughter, now a local attorney, Hannah begins to piece together the clues which will solve the mystery. When the killer discovers Hannah's involvement, only her perceptiveness and intellegence can stop her from being the next to die. I loved the Amish setting and the knowledgeable details about the Amish. The contrast of the peaceful Amish country and the hunt for a killer intensifies the already fast pace and makes this an exciting story.
