‘The Rise and Fall of Miss Fannie’s Biscuits’: A Cozy Amish Mystery

In a new novel, someone’s hand gets caught in the cookie jar as Fannie Miller solves the mysterious disappearance of contestants at a local baking contest.

Something nefarious is brewing in this small-town mystery and comedy by the writing team of Wanda E. Brunstetter and Martha Bolton.

There are cozy mysteries, and there are cozy mysteries—and then there is “The Rise and Fall of Miss Fannie’s Biscuits” by Wanda Brunstetter and Martha Bolton, perhaps the coziest of them all.

Like watching a mild spring rain cascade down from the porch of a farmhouse, Brunstetter and Bolton’s new novel is an experience of gentleness. The two authors weave a simple and delightful story about a small community in Sugarcreek, Ohio, and the modest dramas that occur around the 10th Annual Tuscarawas and Surrounding Counties Baking Contest.
