A PLAIN DEATH
by Amanda Flower
Description:
Welcome to Appleseed Creek, the heart of Ohios Amish Country, where life is not as serene as it seems.
While her Cleveland friends relocated to Southern California and Italy, 24-year-old computer whiz Chloe Humphrey moves with some uncertainty to Appleseed Creek to direct technology services at a nearby college. Her first acquaintance is Becky, an ex-Amish teenager looking for a new home.
While driving Chloes car, Becky collides with a buggy, killing an Amish elder. But what looks like an accident is soon labeled murder when police discover the cars cut brake line.
Now, Chloe must take on the role of amateur sleuth to discover who the real intended victim was before the murderer makes a second attempt. Beckys handsome Amish-turned-Mennonite brother, Timothy, a local carpenter, comes in handy along the way. With Gods help, theyll solve the mystery thats rocking this small community.
Review:
A Plain Death begins with a young computer whiz named Chloe Humphrey who moves to Appleseed Creek to head up the computer department at the local community college. On the way there, she rescues a young Amish girl, Becky, who has run away from home, from two local thugs. Chloe then takes Becky in, but before barely getting her foot in the door, problems arise. Becky borrows Chloes care without asking (and having no drivers license) and gets into an accident, killing an Amish elder. Its later found out that someone cut the break line in the car, leaving everyone to wonder who the intended victim was and who the culprit is. So Chloe, along with Beckys Mennonite brother, begin doing their own investigation to find the murderer.
This was an enjoyable book. It kept my attention really well and I was able to stay interested from the beginning. One thing I really liked was the authors description of Applewood Creek, specifically the town square and where the little Amish Farmers Market was set up. I was able to envision the whole thing in my head, and wished I could have been there! If you enjoy Amish stories, Im sure youll enjoy this book, with all its twists and turns!
