Crafts and Life

Although she left her Old Order Amish ways in her youth, Rachel discovered corporate life in the English world to be complicated and unfulfilling. Having returned to Stone Mill, she’s happy to be running her own B&B. But she’s also learning—in more ways than one—that the past is not always so easily left behind.
 
After local newspaperman Bill Billingsly is found gagged and tied to his front porch, left to freeze overnight in a snowstorm, Detective Evan Parks—Rachel’s beau—uncovers a file of scandalous information Billingsly intended to publish, including a record of Rachel pleading no contest to charges of corporate misconduct. Though Evan is certain of her innocence, it’s up to Rachel to find the real killer. A closer examination of the victim’s unpublished report leads Rachel to believe the Amish community is far from sinless. But if she’s not careful her obituary might be the next to appear in print…

Just when things seem to be going smoothly there is a jog in the road in this the latest Stone Mill installment, and Emma Miller keeps you guessing right until the end!

Rachel Mast and some others have set up the inaugural Winter Fare which is providing a much needed boost for both the Amish community and the English one, the problem is there is a snake in the grass, or more to the point a vicious and vindictive newspaper man, he has dug up things long buried and is publishing them, and Rachel Mast is due to be one of his victims she discovers, she plans to see if she can talk him out of it but changes her mind, the problem is that night he was brutally killed and the police, more to the point Evan her fiancé, have accessed to the information.  Whilst Even is sure she isn't the killer the leads keep circling back to her, out of desperation she starts to investigate, only to upset both people in the English community she has joined and the Amish community she left.
