My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the first in the series about an Amish Quilt shop in a small Amish town. The mystery is well written and quite a surprise. What I think I enjoyed most was the representation of tension between some of the Amish in town and the English. Rather than representing it as a totally amicable situation Alan does a wonder job of highlighting some of the reluctance to have English come into their traditional Amish community. She does a great job of pointing out how it is difficult to have your lifestyle turned into a Disney World like tourist attraction. It can be a catch 22 since tourism helps revenue for Amish shops The characters are a good representation of the different opinions and attitudes. The reader is able to grasp the tension and other emotions. I look forward to reading more in the series
