PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION
Why would someone kill Nathan King?
The peace of a perfect November afternoon is shattered when Agatha hears the frantic bleating of goats across the river from her B&B. Agatha kayaks over with retired detective Tony and two guests–Bishop Henry and his wife Emma. They find the goats huddled together in a terrified group and Nathan lying face up beneath the Live Oak trees, lifeless eyes staring at the Texas sky.
Then one of Agatha’s guests goes missing. She delves into Joey’s past and learns he was Dead Broke, so what was he doing vacationing at her B&B? And why was he pretending to be Amish when in fact his permanent address was Dallas, Texas? Most importantly, did Joey have anything to do with Nathan’s death? Agatha and Tony are at a dead end before the investigation has properly begun, but this time they receive help from unexpected places. Bishop Henry has a gift, and he’s no longer afraid to use it, even if doing so may put them all be in danger as they work together to catch a killer.
Dead Broke is a story about family secrets, rare gifts, and the joy of unexpected friendships.

My Review:
This Amish mystery by Vannetta Chapman was fun reading. I always love her mystery/suspense stories because I know there are twists and turns that will unexpectedly appear. This book brought back Bishop Henry, one of my very favorite characters in Amish fiction. Henry’s quite unique artistic talents play a major part in solving this mystery, and it was delight to see him back in action again.
This book also features Agatha and the guests at her B & B, who all become suspects in the death of a local Amish man. It’s takes all of the considerable skills combined of Agatha, Tony, Henry, and Emma to untangle this complicated mystery. I’m hoping there’s another book with Agatha and Tony, and I’d love to see them together again with Henry and Emma.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
