Today I want to spotlight a new release book by Amy Lillard. Kappy King and the Puppy Kaper is book one of An Amish Mystery series and released on December 27, 2017.
Kappy “Kathryn” King is the kapp maker and odd ball in her
district. Upon returning home from a shopping trip, she find her front door
painted blue, the color that meant she was single and looking for a husband. No
doubt in her mind, she knows that her neighbor, Jimmy, is to blame.
Jimmy, a young man with Down’s Syndrome, lives with his
mother, Ruth Peachey, across the road from Kappy. They bred Beagles and rent
out their land to other Amish farmers. Upon
going to confront Jimmy about her blue door, she discovers Jimmy crying over
his mother’s dead body.
Jimmy’s shunned sister, Edie, returns home in time for her mother’s funeral. During the funeral, the police show up to arrest poor Jimmy. Edie and Kappy make it their mission to solve the murder and free Jimmy.
This book was the perfect mix of humor and suspense. I
definitely will be reading the next book in this series which is set to release June 28, 2018. It was refreshing reading about Kappy, Jimmy, and Elsie. They are not the typical protagonist that I tend to find in Amish novels.
Amy loves nothing more than a good book. Except for her family…and maybe homemade tacos…and nail polish. But reading and writing are definitely way up on the list.
Born and bred in Mississippi, Amy is a transplanted Southern Belle who now lives in Oklahoma with her deputy husband, their genius son, two spoiled cats, and one very lazy beagle. Oh, and don’t forget the stray kitty that has taken up residence on her front porch. ^..^
When she’s not creating happy endings, she’s chauffeuring her teen prodigy to guitar lessons and practice for whatever sport he’s into this week. She has a variety of hobbies, but her favorite is whatever gets her out of housework.
Amy is an award winning author with more than thirty novels and novellas in print. She is a member of RWA, ACFW, NINC, and the Author’s Guild. She loves to hear from readers. You can find her on Facebook, Instagram, Google+, Twitter, Goodreads, and Pinterest.
