Miss Fannie and Foster provide a fun mystery perfect for a winter day, the beach, or any time in between. It is a light-hearted whodunit with delightful characters that was just the right type of book at the right time for me.
I deducted a star because it was long and confusing at times. Some things repeated themselves, I was confused about some of the characters’ ages for a while, and the ending was a let-down. For a cozy mystery, there were some heavy topics. And while I mostly enjoyed it, I was also glad when it was over. I have to wonder if it is part of a series. There were multiple mentions of history and other cases between the main characters, but I could not find any other books with either Miss Fannie or Foster in them.
Overall, the baking contest was a nice diversion, a simple read among more serious ones that I had. I will always love Wanda Brunstetter’s Amish fiction, but I may give any more of her cozy mysteries a pass. I do recommend reading it for yourself. It might be just the type of book you love.

When I saw the title and the authors I knew this was going to be a great book. I am a huge fan of Wanda E. Brunstetter. I believe I have all her fiction books.
If you are like me and love Amish and/or Wanda E. Brunstetter then you won’t be disappointed.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this incredible, awesome book!
Amish romance is one of my favorite genres, and Wanda Brunstetter is at the very top of the list for authors in this genre.
If you are looking for a fantastic Amis romance, this one is it! I could not put this book down. I devoured it!
Highly recommend.
Five stars plus!
This was an interesting take on an Amish novel. The bulk of the story takes place away from the competition, a slight let down for me, as I adore baking competitions.
There were so many characters in this novel, way more than you usually find in an Amish novel, and at times they were rather muddled.
That said, I still really enjoyed this read.
Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this ARC in return for my honest review.
This is a cute and cozy mystery set in Amish country that follows an Amish woman and her non-Amish detective friend as they try to solve the case of the missing baking contestants. It appears that this might have been part of a series, since I kept feeling like I was missing little details about some of the supporting characters that it seemed like I should know, but it wasn't enough to detract from enjoying the story. There were some good little morals incorporated within the story and it had a feel-good ending!
I absolutely loved this well written cozy mystery. This book has a great plot that kept my interest until the end. If you enjoy a good mystery you do not want to miss this book.
This has everything that I was looking for in a cozy mystery element in a Amish community. The plot was everything that I was looking for and enjoyed the mystery going on in this universe. I thought Wanda E. Brunstetter and Martha Bolton wrote this perfectly and had a great world set. I enjoyed reading this and can’t wait for more mystery for this.
A genre-busting story with a great blend of romance, religion, relationships, cooking, mystery, and more. The story starts slowly as we meet the competitors in the baking contest, but the pace gains momentum and soon keeps the reader engrossed.
