"The base concept of the series is absolutely fantastic: we have an Amish owned cupcake shop, two octogenarians who are obsessed with Agatha Christie, and a newly divorced former Amish lady who is starting her life anew. The writing is fun, witty, and so relatable (losing you keys, finding them, having them tossed in a litter box and then you remember you don’t even need them!)."

True Confections An Amish Cupcake Cozy Mystery edition by Ruth Hartzler Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
- I don't usually read Amish stories, but I made an exception for the cat on the cover. This was a good book,it made sense to me that a person mostly raised Amish might be a bit gentler, even with a cheating scum of a spouse, than a person raised in a dragon eat dragon world. I liked the bickersons - uh, bickering sisters, I figured it's their thing, and I do like a bit of grit in people as well as stories. I liked the cat, not just because he solved the mystery, but also because he was present in the story, not just a pretty cover model. OK, he looks a bit grumpy, but my last cat was a biter so I can't complain when he looks so cute. I liked the simple tone in the book, too. sometimes writing feels just simplistic, but this was sweet and genuine, it felt refreshing, not condescending. Thank you.

- A delightful new series featuring Jane Delight, a remarkable cat, and a fun array of secondary characters. I loved that the characters are older--the story begins on Jane's 50th birthday--and I found the plot intriguing. So much so that I stayed up late reading until the end. Can't wait to read the next in series. Kudos, Ruth Hartzler on another wonderfully fun and clean cozy mystery.
- When your husband tells you, on your fiftieth birthday, he's divorcing you, marrying his soon-to-deliver twenty-something girlfriend, and leaving you without the house or spousal support, what do you do? Jane Delight heads off to live among the Amish she left years ago, work for her twin sister Rebecca in a cupcake shop, and live in the the apartment upstairs. There is a tiny hitch. She'll have roommates…two British octogenarians Eleanor and Matilda. However, Rebecca is being pressured to sell her property to Colin Greaves, a developer who will stop at nothing to acquire the property. Popping in to add more incentives to his offer, issuing veiled threats, and refusing to leave, he makes a demonstrative statement by grabbing one of the little sample cupcakes. Then gasping and collapsing…dead!
Ruth Hartzler is a new-to-me author who did very well with the traditional cozy mystery formula I enjoy. Well-written with a steady pace, she started with a likable character in whom readers can invest their time, gave them a personal challenge to send them home to family, added other characters with a couple quirky ones, threw in a conflict, a murder, and personal interest in finding justice. All very engaging leading to satisfying ending punctuated by karma. Using a first-person narrative of Jane’s perspective, I enjoyed her inner thoughts, take on living Amish, and her transformation from victim to victor. I greatly enjoyed this engaging mystery, and special treats included… easy-to-follow Amish recipes for Shoo-Fly Pie (wet bottom) Melassich Rivwelkuche and Chocolate Whoopie Pies. - For the Amish ways, as well as ths Englisher ways. Connecting twins, one Amish, and the other one no longer Amish...and they make a great team with friends helping to solve a mystery!
- I read this book in one day~~even while I was cooking supper!! I won't repeat the blurb, which I did find helpful. Loved the older characters, identical twin sisters~~one Amish, the other one not~~a cupcake shop, a murder, plenty of suspects a handsome detective, and an amazing cat. Who could ask for more!!
- I enjoyed the story very much. Really liked the characters. Surprised by the ending. Look forward to reading the next
One. Than you - In True Confections I got a great cover cat who is an integral part of the story, Jane who is 50 and not Amish, her twin sister, the cupcake shop owner, 2 bickering, Agatha Christie obsessed sisters in their 80s who live above the shop and a delightful mystery. What else could I ask for? I spent a most pleasant time with this entertaining cast of characters as they "help" the police solve a murder. If you are looking for a fun mystery, try this one.
