Strawberry Scam

Summer in Harvest, Ohio, means strawberries. And Bailey King, Amish Candy shop owner and star of TV’s Bailey’s Amish Sweets, is looking forward to savoring them with her new husband, long-time love Sheriff Aiden Brody. But every season has its surprises, some sweet . . . some deadly.

When Bailey’s TV network decides to shoot a special episode of her show right in Harvest, her summer, not to mention her life, is turned upside down. Local strawberries will be crucial for her candies, which means she has to pick them immediately. The season is short, so Bailey enlists her cousin Charlotte—along with Jethro, the pig—to accompany her to Bachmann Berry Farm. But to their great disappointment, the field is already picked out . . .

Luckily, the owner’s wife, Maxine, tells them to come back the next day when the upper field will be ripened. Things are looking up—until an insurance man arrives at the farm and causes a scene. It strikes Bailey as odd, because buying insurance is counter to the Amish faith. But she discovers an even more disturbing scene when she returns: the insurance man’s dead body in the strawberry field.

With her friends the Bachmanns as the primary suspects, Bailey promises an anxious Maxine she’ll sleuth out the truth. But can she do it before a killer cancels all their plans, including her own happily ever after—permanently . . .?
