The Porch Swing Mysteries bring Jenny Hershberger back in a new role. Originally introduced in the Apple Creek Dreams trilogy, Jenny now lives on her family farm in Paradise, Pennsylvania, where she keeps getting pulled into local criminal investigations. Craig has described her as an “Amish Miss Marple,” a quiet, observant woman whose sharp instincts make her a natural detective.

The Quilt That Knew and The Boy In Blue Denim both won first place at the Chanticleer International Book Awards, and 3 X 3 rounds out the trilogy. The series blends cozy mystery conventions with the Amish setting Craig knows well, giving readers who followed Jenny from Apple Creek a satisfying new chapter for her character.
