Dial M for Mennonite by Samantha Price



Elderly Amish sleuth Ettie Smith didn't mean to dial up trouble when she went to investigate a strange key. However, that's exactly what happened when she intercepted a phone call meant for a dearly departed antique dealer.

Can Ettie crack open the case before the hands of time—and danger—catch up with her?
Clock in for another heart-pounding adventure with Ettie Smith, where time—and murder—wait for no one.

"Dial M for Mennonite" dials up the stakes, proving not everyone is as timely or as honest as they seem.

The moment is here, and the mystery unravels, but the biggest question remains: Do you dare answer the call?

My Review

I really enjoy reading Amish stories. And something even better is Amish mysteries. Samantha Price is a wonderful writer. I don't think you be disappointed in any of her well written books. I love the character's two elderly Amish Sisters who help solve murder cases. This book is a page turner. Will for sure keep your interest. Beware you won't want to take time away once you start. See if you can figure out the who done it before the sisters do. What could this key be too?

My Review

Book 2 of the New Series Shunned by the Amish by Samantha Price. This series is full of action and different twist. It is a page turner. You will want to keep reading once you start, Trust has been shunned by the Amish due to her actions she has taken in her life. Trust is a world -renowned thief. She has taken on new life to make changes in her life. But can she keep to them . She is always being tempted to do what she knows best. Lot of suspense in what she will do.

Outcast by Samantha Price.

 


Trust Zeigler has strayed far from the Amish roots she once knew as the daughter of an Amish bishop. Today, she's a renowned jewel thief, captivating headlines around the world. But as the thrill of the heist grows, so does the danger—pushing Trust to the edge of a precipice she may not escape.

Enter an enigmatic FBI agent with an offer that could change everything. He promises a way out, a chance to wipe the slate clean and start anew. But can Trust really leave her high-stakes life behind, and is the promise of redemption just a strategy in a game where she's the pawn?

As Trust wrestles with her future, she faces a stark choice: return to a past that no longer fits or forge ahead into a future full of unknowns.

With every decision critical and every ally questionable, Trust must decide whom to trust before she runs out of moves.

"Outcast" unveils Trust Zeigler's harrowing exploits, in which loyalty is rare, betrayal is just a misstep away, and every choice could be her last.

(This series, 'Shunned by the Amish,' is a remake of the 'Gretel Koch Jewel Thief' series, which Samantha Price retired some years ago. It has been completely rewritten, renamed, and reimagined).

Mackinac Island Beacon by Carrie Fancett Pagels

 


Plans hatched in 1897 bring friends and family from far distances toward Mackinac Island’s new twin beacons—the Round Island Lighthouse and the Social Affirmation Society’s training/retreat center. A missing daughter, a missing godchild—two young women’s lives have intertwined in ways they could never have known. The solution to both of their mysteries is revealed when all hope has been lost by those seeking them.

Is romance out of the question for Val and Susan, when their hearts begin to heal? Will Paul and Lawrence, friends from their childhoods, brought to the island for work, be their beacons of hope? Can God bring all their paths together or will too many obstacles stand in their way?

My Review:
Another wonderful novel by Carrie that will keep you flipping the pages. Well written characters. I was picturing myself on this journey as I read the book. I so want to go to Mackinac Island for a vacation. So beautifully described in the novel.
As I said it is well written and you will be flipping those pages to try and figure out what happened to the children. Who belongs to who? Will the lighthouse keeper find love? Will God intervein? Will God direct all their paths to meet and find the beacon of hope? Wonderful 5 star novel.
