Marshmallow Malice




With the fifth installment in her USA Today bestselling Amish Candy Shop series, Agatha Award-winning author Amanda Flower delights readers with a long-awaited June wedding in Ohio's Amish Country. But when a sticky situation arises on the special day, it's up to candy maker Bailey King to ensure the nuptials are a sweet success!

Caught in a sticky situation . . .
 
With Juliet Brody and Reverend Brook tying the knot in Ohio’s Amish Country’s most anticipated nuptials of the year, Bailey King is determined to do everything in her power to make the event a sweet success. Except midsummer heat waves and outdoor ceremonies don’t mix, and an exasperated Bailey soon finds herself struggling to fulfill bridesmaid duties and keep her stunning marshmallow-frosted wedding cake from becoming a gooey disaster. Then much to everyone’s shock, the entire ceremony crumbles when a guest drops dead, and the cause isn’t sunstroke . . .
 
Turns out, the uninvited victim came equipped with lots of dirt on the devout reverend’s hidden past. As Reverend Brook tops the murder suspect list on what should have been the happiest day of his life, Bailey and her sheriff’s deputy boyfriend vow to clear his name. Can the duo boil down a series of baffling clues before Juliet considers her marriage a bad mistake—or the killer whips up another deadly surprise?

Praise for Marshmallow Malice

Praise for Amanda Flower's Amish Candy Shop Mysteries:
"This quirky whodunit--book four in the beloved Amish Candy Shop Mystery series-comes to life."
--Woman's World, Book Club Pick on Toxic Toffee

"Toxic Toffee agreeably mixes candymaking with murder investigation, and Bailey's ease with the community enables her to extract critical information in a place where the locals tend to clam up around "English" police. I love reading about the Amish, and I gobbled up this fast-paced, well-written novel that even brought tears to my eyes at the end." --Mystery Scene

"Flower's mysteries are always welcome, and this series is wacky and warm, with just enough mystery to intrigue." --Akron Beacon Journal on Toxic Toffee

"The quirky characters are colorful and fun to read. Flowers skillfully blends Amish and 'English' characters with a mystery that keeps the reader sleuthing along with Bailey. Prepare for a few smiles as Jethro the pig and Nutmeg the cat are back, as they are joined with Puff the bunny." --Crimespree Magazine on Toxic Toffee

"Amanda Flower delivers a funny mystery full of twists that never misses a beat with plenty of heart, danger, comedy, and candy." --Seattle Book Review on PREMEDITATED PEPPERMINT

"It's only been a few weeks since Bailey King's Amish grandfather died, but she's already taken on the responsibility of running his candy shop in the Holmes County community of Harvest." --Akron Beacon Journal on Lethal Licorice, an ABJ Best Local Books Choice for 2018

"Flower launches her new series by evoking the nightmare nuptials of The Final Vow (2017), throwing in a few Pennsylvania Dutch words to provide atmosphere in a cozy as light as the heroine's handmade mousse." --Kirkus Reviews on ASSAULTED CARAMEL

"A promising start to a new series. I really enjoyed meeting Bailey's grandmother (Maami) and grandfather (Daadi) and learning a little more about the Amish way of life. Check it out!" --Suspense Magazine on Assaulted Caramel
