Lemon Drop Dead

by Amanda Flower · 2021

When Bailey King, the ever‑cheerful manager of Swissmen Sweets, decides to throw a lemon‑themed baby shower for her assistant Emily Keim, she expects a day of sweet celebrations in the tiny Amish town of Harvest, Ohio. But the festivities take a dark turn when a mysterious Amish woman confronts Emily about a secret she’s kept for decades—a child she gave up for adoption as a teenager. The woman vanishes, only to be found dead later in the town’s pretzel shop, a threatening letter from Emily’s estranged sister Esther clutched in her hand. Emily is convinced Esther is innocent, and she enlists Bailey’s help to untangle a web of family secrets, hidden pasts, and simmering rivalries. As the duo sifts through clues amid lemon‑scented décor and the town’s quirky characters, they must expose the true killer before the sour taste of murder lingers over the whole community. A cozy mystery brimming with humor, heart, and a dash of Amish charm, complete with a recipe to try at home.
