An Amish sweets contest is interrupted when a bitter rivalry turns deadly in this cozy mystery by the Agatha Award-winning author of Criminally Cocoa.

Harvest, Ohio, is a long way from New York City, where Bailey King left a coveted job as a chocolatier to take over Swissmen Sweets, her grandparents' Amish candy shop. She wants to honor her grandfather's memory, but she may be biting off more than she can chew when she enters the annual Amish Confectionery Competition. Between cooking up lavender blueberry fudge and chocolate cherry ganache truffles, Bailey's search for a missing pot-bellied pig leads her to a dead body.

Josephine Weaver, an Amish candy maker who wanted Bailey disqualified for being an Englischer, died from a licorice allergy. Now Bailey finds herself topping the list of murder suspects, along with Josephine's niece, a young woman going through her rumspringa. Now it falls to Bailey, who's sweet on the local sheriff's deputy, to clear both their names and catch a killer with a cast-iron stomach for cold-blooded murder...

This is a lovely series and I'm really enjoying the world of this series and the development of the characters. Bailey just drove me a little nuts in this one as she keep wandering around being a one-woman band instead of co-operating with the guy who has shown she can trust and who is actually the one who's profession is to solve mysteries. A shame, because she is a very interesting character. My irritation took me out of the book about 2/3rds of the way through and I had to force myself to keep reading, which tells me it had gotten overboard. However, the scene on the swings won me back and I'm seeing rave reviews for the next one in the series which seems to point to a restlessness to Bailey that I hope is resolved in the way she solves the next one.

The second installment in the Amish Candy Shop Mystery series, and a nice follow-up to the first one. Bailey has moved from NYC to her grandmother's small Amish town in Ohio to help with the fudge shop now that her grandfather has died, but not everyone is happy with a non-Amish woman competing in the local Amish candy competition. When one particularly vocal opponent is found dead and stuffed in the church organ, Bailey finds herself once again a murder suspect.
We meet some new characters and get to know the original crew a bit better here. I'll likely keep going with the series. ( )

Harvest hosts this year's Amish Confectionary Competition, and Bailey enters to honor her Amish grandfather's memory. Some Amish candy makers express displeasure the non-Amish Bailey can enter the contest, but the event registration took place before her grandfather's death so the judges allowed her to compete. A Berlin confectioner turns up dead inside the organ, and Bailey can't resist doing a little investigation between competition rounds. A missing polka-dotted pig also factors in the plot. I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator drove me crazy with her incorrect pronunciation of Berlin. (In Ohio, it is BER-lin, not Ber-LIN.) Bailey is the typical amateur sleuth who takes far too many chances. The budding romance between Bailey and deputy Aiden continues to grow, and his mother definitely pushes it. While more critical of the Amish than most Amish fiction, the author depicts the struggles of an Amish lifestyle. ( )

Bailey King is running her Amish grandmother's candy shop in Harvest, Ohio. Bailey recently left a high profile chocolatier position in NYC, opting for a new life in Amish country. Bailey is not Amish as her father had left the district years ago. However, Bailey nevertheless loved her Amish grsndparents having spent many summers with them. Since her grandfather died Bailey runs her grandparents' Swissman Sweets. The Amish Confectionary Competition is being held in Harvest. It shiwcases the best of Amish candymaking skills with licorice, taffy, peanut brittle and fudge. To honor her grandfather's memory, Bailey has taken his place in the ACC. However, 2 Amish contestants are exceedingly angry about Bailey being allowed to compete. On the first day of the competition, Bailey's friend Juliet has lost her pet polka dotted pot-bellied pig. While searching in the church, Bailey hears a scream. A young Amish woman, who was playing the organ, hit a sour note. Upon investigating the organ pipes, she finds a body wedged in the organ's pipes. Bailey sets out to find the killer, as well as Juliet's pig. I do enjoy this series. I also get a irritated at some of the stupid choices Bailey makes. it's an interesting look at the Amish way of life through the eyes of an English granddaughter. ( )

Another fun cozy mystery plus a missing pig. I worried about the pig being lost. I enjoyed the new character in Charlotte and hope she continues to be part of the Harvest community. The murderer was well hidden until the end by the many misdirections. I look forward to the next in the series. ( )
