Amanda Flower’s Amish Quilt Shop Mysteries are set in an Amish community in Ohio. Murder, Plain and Simple (2013) introduces the quilt shop setting. The series interweaves with the Amish Candy Shop Mysteries, sharing the Harvest, Ohio community and some characters.
The quilt shop series began with Plainly Murder (2013) and Murder, Plain and Simple (2013), establishing the pattern of cozy mysteries centered on quilting and Amish life. Murder, Simply Stitched (2014), Murder, Served Simply (2014), Murder, Plainly Read (2015), and Murder, Handcrafted (2016) continued the run. The titles that also appear in the Candy Shop series reflect the shared setting.
Flower has built an entire fictional ecosystem around Harvest, Ohio, with the quilt shop, candy shop, and matchmaker series all overlapping. For readers who want the full picture, reading across all three series gives a more complete view of the community. The quilt shop books lean more toward traditional cozy mystery, with craft details woven into the plots alongside the murder investigations.
