    About this audiobook

    In a town where Amish and Englisch mingle every day, a grisly murder leads to mutual suspicion. Can Amber and Hannah find the killer before fear unravels the community . . . or he strikes again?

    Even before she heard of Owen Esch's death, Hannah Troyer knew something was amiss at The Cat's Meow yarn shop. The store has been closing at odd times, the ever-dependable Mary isn't always at her post . . . and an Englisch man has been seen loitering around back.

    Now, as leaves of brown, gold, and orange blanket Middlebury, Indiana, Owen lies dead on the Pumpkinvine Trail. The only clues to the murderer's identity point in two very different directions-one of them leading right to The Cat's Meow.

    The police call in a federal investigator, but Hannah and Village manager Amber Bowman are in no mood to wait for them to figure out what they already know-that no one from the Amish Village could have killed Owen Esch.

    Amber and Hannah will need to work quickly to solve the murder mystery and bring harmony back to the Amish community.

      An unusual murder sets Hannah and Amber on the detecting path again. But this cozy almost seems to dwell more on the relationships of the characters with each and with their faith than the actual mystery. Still, it is an entertaining cozy, and the interactions between the Amish and the English are interesting.
    • 4/5
      It is hard to keep faith and trust in this tight knit community, when one of their own is killed with a crossbow. It doesn't help when the English investigator believes being Amish is the same as being a member of a survivalist cult. It doesn't help that this is the second time, murder has happened in Middlebury, Indiana.

      'excellent cozy murder mystery series! Can't wait to read next book.

      Ok! It was interesting but hard to stay engaged

      Super!! Another winner in the Amish mystery genre. Great job!
    • 4/5
      When Owen Esch is found murdered on a trail due to a crossbow injury, evidence points to an Amish person with ties to a survivalist group. Investigators are quick to arrest Jesse's brother Andrew Miller for the incident, even though the Amish who know him best know he would never do such a thing. Will they be able to prove their case for Andrew's release before it is too late? I failed to realize this was second in the series and felt at a disadvantage when it came to knowing the characters. References to the earlier installment figured into the narrative in several places. The mystery is stronger than many Christian fiction mysteries. I enjoyed this, but I do need to go back to the first in the series before moving forward. I listened to the audio version.
    • 3/5
      Though this book was enjoyable it was also confusing. There are a lot of individuals to keep track of. I eventually pulled a notebook out and wrote the name and relationship down to help me remember who they were and how they fit in. Other than that a mystery with a kick at the end. :)

      Murder Tightly Knit by Vanetta Chapman is a delight to read. It is a great cozy mystery and it is the second book in An Amish Village Mystery series. Amber Wright is now Amber Wright Bowman. Amber and Tate were married and are now living on Tate’s farm. Preston is living in Amber’s old home (Preston was the homeless man in Murder Simply Brewed) has a job.Amber is in a good mood until she hears about the death of Owen Esch with a cross bow. It is such an unusual way to murder someone. Something is also going on with Mary Weaver, the manager of The Cat’s Meow. Jesse’s older brother, Andrew Miller has also returned to the community. His parents are thrilled that he is back, but Jesse is less than enthusiastic. Jesse wants to know why he has returned now and what is Andrew is hiding.Amber, Tate, Hannah, and Jesse set out to find out what happened to Owen while avoiding Roland Shaw, a federal agent from Indianapolis (he has rubbed all of them the wrong way). Jesse and Hannah try to figure out what is going on with Andrew as they continue to grow closer. Will there be another wedding soon? Amber has hired a new assistant manager. Her name is Pam Coleman and she is a lively addition to the Amish Village. To return to Middlebury, Indiana and the Amish Artisan Village, read Murder Tightly Knit.I give Murder Tightly Knit 5 out of 5 stars. Great second book with a wonderful mystery. This series has likeable characters and a town that you would love to live in (at least I would). I look forward to the next book in this series.I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley (and the publisher) in exchange for an honest review.

      The title of this story brings us immediately to the opening of the book…yes it begins with a murder. The quiet peaceful setting of the Village is upset again by another grisly murder, a quiet Amish man is found dead on the Pumpkinvine Trail.Where is all of this going to lead, boy are you in for a surprise, and I didn’t see it coming. We get an indebt look at Amish life, and spend time at a lot of functions, and actives, always looking for why and who.Ms. Chapman has done it again, with a new and absorbing mystery and mix in the Amish culture, we are on a heart in your throat ride, and hoping for the best out come. Throw in the beautiful setting of this story and I was hooked, and kept me page turning. I had to get to the end, and when I did, I wanted more, wishing I had taken more time to savor what I was reading.So come along and take a buggy ride, or a walk on the Pumpkinvine Trail, but be careful, you never know what is around the next turn.I received this book through the Publisher Zondervan, and was not required to give a positive review.

      Murder Tightly KnittedVannetta ChapmanBook Summary: When a local Amish man is found dead, the Middlebury Amish Artisan Village comes under suspicion. Two amateur sleuths—one Amish, one English—will have to work quickly to keep fear from dividing their community. As fall blankets the Pumpkinvine Trail with leaves of brown, gold, and orange, a local Amish man is found dead on the path. The only clues to the murderer’s identity point in two very different directions—toward the local survivalist group and toward the Amish Village—specifically the village’s knitting shop, The Cat’s Meow. The police call in a federal investigator, and he quickly puts everyone on the suspect list. Amber Bowman and Hannah Troyer know who isn’t guilty—they know this community down to the last buggy, but can find the guilty party before someone else is in danger? While Hannah helps Amber solve the mystery, she and Jesse Miller continue courting. But when Jesse’s prodigal brother returns to their farm, Jesse becomes distracted by family troubles. He and Hannah will have to overcome the tension in order to keep their relationship alive. And Amber and Hannah will need to work quickly to solve the murder mystery and bring harmony back to the Amish community.Review: Fantastic sequel!! Love this series! Hannah, Jesse, Tate and Amber are great! Love the addition of Andrew and Mary. The mystery started out slow but picked up speed after a couple of chapters. The addition of Pam was fantastic. She is a great addition and sidekick for the English side of looking into things. It was so nice to see Preston becoming a steady trustworthy friend to everyone. While the mystery was startling it was not too difficult who it was that killed Owen. How it played out was the greatest suspense. That is what made the story exciting that waiting for the other shoe to drop. Can not wait to start the next book!I would like to thank Net Galley and Zondervan for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone.
