Murder, Simply Stitched is the second installment in the An Amish Quilt Shop Mystery series. Angela "Angie" Braddock is an "Englischer" who has inherited her Aunt Eleanor's quilt shop, Running Stitch in the small Amish town of Rolling Brook.

Angie has settled in to her new home and job, and is looking forward to being able to enter her Aunt's quilts into the local Amish auction. Day one at the auction starts off with her having to chase and tackle Petunia, the runaway Nubian goat and ends with her finding the dead body of township Trustee Wanda Hunt.

Wanda had been spearheading a campaign to vote down the building of a new pie factory on Sugartree Street. Angie's best friend Rachel Miller and her husband Aaron, have invested all of their money into purchasing the land to build the factory, and when it appears that Wanda has suffered a deadly allergic reaction to one of Rachel's Fry Pies, Rachel and Aaron become the prime suspects. Determined to clear her friends name, Angie enlists the help of the other members of her quilting circle despite the warnings not to interfere by Sheriff James Mitchell.

A fun filled romp that will have you laughing aloud at the antics of Angie's beloved Frenchie, Oliver, new kitten Dodger and Petunia the goat. A fast paced whodunit that offers up plenty of suspects with just the right amount of romantic tension.
