ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Amanda Flower, an Agatha-nominated mystery author, started her writing career in elementary school when she read a story she wrote to her sixth grade class and had the class in stitches with her description of being stuck on the top of a Ferris wheel. She knew at that moment she’d found her calling of making people laugh with her words. Her debut mystery, Maid of Murder, was an Agatha Award Nominee for Best First Novel. Amanda is an academic librarian for a small college near Cleveland.
ABOUT THE BOOK
It’s Christmastime in Amish Country, and Chloe Humphrey has begun settling into her life in Appleseed Creek excited to see where her new relationship with Timothy Troyer will lead. Unfortunately it leads to murder when the couple discovers the body of Amish teenager Katie Lambright while on their first date.
Near the scene there is evidence that Timothy’s friend and auto mechanic Billy Thorpe is involved with the crime. The police reveal Billy is not really who he said he was and has been living the last decade in Knox County under a stolen alias. Now, Chloe and Timothy must find Billy, bring him to justice, or prove his innocence.

My Thoughts: A Plain Disappearance was an enjoyable Amish mystery. I had not read the first two books in the series, and although A Plain Disappearance was fine to read alone, there were a few times that comments were made about something happening previously that I did not understand. Now, I'm excited to go back and read the first two books.
The mystery of who murdered Katie Lambright kept me guessing until the end. The author did a great job with different twists and turns in the plot. I also enjoyed how the storyline had Amish kids who had become Englisch, yet their Amish family still welcomed and supported them.
