A cozy murder mystery set in small Amish town of Yoder. Odd that 9 out of 10 people have the last name of Yoder. Odder still most are not related. Sissy has come to help her aunt in her cafe after she broke her leg. Sissy’s mom had left the Amish so she doesn’t follow all parts of the culture. Her aunt wasn’t very friendly, and a lot of odd characters in the town. To be honest not sure why she would stay. Still though, enjoyed the mystery and would recommend.

Sissie's most recent career was as an advice columnist in a Tulsa newspaper, now she is on hiatus from that and trying to help out a curmudgeonly relative at her cafe in Yoder, Kansas. Within the first few days she and her beloved Yorkie have a lot to adjust to (and the town to her sporty convertible). But the biggest thing is the milk delivery man dead at the back door of the cafe with a chef's knife in his back and the local law fixated on her as the murderer. Let the sleuthing begin! A great start to a new series! The plot is sound, complete with plot twists and red herrings. Loved it!
I requested and received a free e-book copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
What a charming cozy mystery!! Dairy, Dairy, Quite Contrary was a fun read with well-crafted characters.
The author made you feel as if you were right alongside the story especially as we see Sissy getting ready for a new start in the small town of Yoder. She and her loyal dog Duke are there to help out her aunt who has injured her leg. Her local cafe is the perfect place for her to continue to write her column. Well, that is until she finds a body with a knife in his back.
She decides the only way to clear her name and find the killer is by figuring out who killed the milkman.
I can't wait to read more books by this author, great job!
