Amanda Flower’s Amish Candy Shop Mysteries follow Bailey King, a chocolatier who moves from New York to her Amish grandmother’s candy shop in Harvest, Ohio. Assaulted Caramel (2017) introduces Bailey, who keeps finding herself involved in local murder cases. The series has grown to include numerous entries through Truffle Trouble (2026), plus holiday specials like Candy Cane Crime (2020).
The book titles play on candy names paired with crime words, giving the series its lighthearted cozy identity. Lethal Licorice (2018), Toxic Toffee (2019), and Marshmallow Malice (2020) follow this naming pattern. Each mystery is self-contained, so readers can jump in at any point, though Bailey’s personal life and relationships develop across the series.
Flower has written extensively in the Amish cozy mystery space, including the related Amish Matchmaker Mysteries and Amish Quilt Shop Mysteries. The Candy Shop series is her longest-running, and it shares the Harvest, Ohio setting with her other Amish series. Readers who enjoy the combination of small-town charm, Amish culture, and low-stakes whodunits will find plenty to read here.
