Plain as Day is a short story in the Amish mystery series. I really like this series and this was a quick and enjoyable read. In this book, Claire is trying to solve a mystery instead of a murder but it's just as charming and well-written as the longer books.

Thanks to Beyond the Page Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love Amish cozy mysteries. I love this series in particular. The characters and their relationships are very well written . Doesnt the name of the town of Heavenly make you want to visit? You wont be dissapointed. I was given a copy of this book by netgalley and the published in exchange for an honest review. The opinions are my own.

Plain as Day by Laura Bradford is An Amish Mystery Short Story (Book 5.5). Claire Weatherly lives with her Aunt Diane in Heavenly, Pennsylvania at the Sleep Heavenly Inn. One of the guests mentions a rattle in the dresser in their room. Jakob Fisher, Claire’s boyfriend, offers to help Claire investigate the noise. They uncover a secret compartment with a silver pendant and chain inside. The pendant seems very familiar to Claire. The pendant is the exact image of the logo on her favorite mystery series The Subject Murders and the author, Jane Barrett is missing. Claire wonders if there is a connection between the necklace and the missing author. She wishes to return the necklace to its owner and begins her research. Where will the clues lead Claire?

Plain as Day is a cute short cozy mystery. I liked the author’s relaxed writing style and the story had a nice easy flow to it. There are good characters (Diane, Esther, Annie, Jakob, Claire) and a lovely touristy small-town setting. Plain as Day takes place between A Churn for the Worse and Just Plain Murder (which will be published in December). Plain as Day is not a stand-alone book. You need to read the other books in the series before embarking on this novella. The mystery is one that plays out as Claire uncovers the clues. Readers will be able to guess the outcome, but I still enjoyed joining Claire on her investigation. My rating for Plain as Day is 4 out of 5 stars. Plain as Day is a quick and engaging cozy mystery. I am eager to read Just Plain Murder when it comes out later this year.

Although this a novella, it was still pleasurable. A continuation of the story of Claire, who lives and helps her aunt at her B&B, and Jakob, the ex-Amish cop who is her romance. This one did not have a murder mystery, but a mysterious necklace instead. A quick and easy read, and hard to put down. I have read many in this series, so the characters were familiar to me, but even if not I would have enjoyed it. Highly recommend this author, book and series.

This was a quick visit back to Heavenly, PA, the quaint tourist town where Amish meets English. When Claire and Detective Jakob Fisher help Aunt Diana rid a dresser of a strange noise, the item they find in a compartment leads to a mysterious disappearance from life of a favorite author. It was a bit refreshing for the mystery to be just that, a mystery, not a lot of dead bodies floating around this time. This will whet your appetite for these characters until the next novel is published later this year.

I need to catch up on this series and this was a wonderful way to remind myself to do just that..Well written and I love the characters and their relationships. Many times have I wanted to go visit Heavenly

A mystery book about a mystery surrounding a mystery author! Very fun! Set in bucolic Heavenly Pennsylvania, Plain as Day is a novella cushioned between An Amish Mystery book #5 and book # 6. There is a strange rattling sound at the Inn, found in the most unlikely source. A popular writer has inexplicably disappeared. Could the two be connected? This is a delightful, engaging, quick read full of cozy characters. I would recommend reading the others in the series first, but it isn’t absolutely necessary.

I enjoyed this short story. I love the series and this was a nice way to get ready for the next full book in the series. If you need a quick read I highly recommend this.

A nice set up for the next instalment in the series.

When a mysterious rattling sound confounds the guests at Heavenly’s local inn, Claire Weatherly, and Detective Jakob Fisher solve the mystery by finding a unique necklace hidden in an Amish dresser. The distinct logo on the necklace pendant is connected with popular author Jane Barrett who has stopped writing her popular series and vanished. Claire does some sleuthing and is determined to return the necklace to its rightful owner. A good short story to bridge the gap before the next full length Amish mystery.
