The Amish Mysteries series brings the cozy mystery formula to an Amish setting. The protagonist, Claire Weatherly, runs a bed-and-breakfast near an Amish community and finds herself drawn into murder investigations that touch both the Amish and English worlds. Hearse and Buggy (2012) introduces the setup, and the series continued for nine books through A Killer Carol (2019).

The titles lean into Amish wordplay: Assaulted Pretzel, Shunned and Dangerous, Suspendered Sentence, A Churn for the Worse. The series combines the gentle pace of cozy mystery with the cultural contrast between Amish and modern American life.
