Publisher Description

Combining the sugar rush of candy making with a fascinating look at Amish life, a quirky whodunit, and a sweet romance between chocolatier Bailey King and Sheriff Aiden Brody, Amanda Flower’s USA Today bestselling Amish Candy Shop Mysteries continue, as summer wedding season comes to the village of Harvest, Ohio…

Horror d'oeuvres

Summer is finally upon the village of Harvest, Ohio, nestled in picturesque Amish Country, and folks are abuzz over their very own Bailey King’s upcoming June wedding. The Amish Candy shop owner and star of TV’s Bailey’s Amish Sweets is marrying Holmes County Sheriff Aiden Brody. To sweeten the occasion will be a scrumptious giant chocolate truffle wedding cake, made especially for the happy couple by Bailey’s New York City mentor, Jean Pierre. Other than the risk of the ring bearer, Jethro the pig, taking a bite out of the confection, what could go wrong?

As it turns out, a food-related disaster does befall the day. But with Bailey in the mix, it’s nothing so pedestrian as a peckish pig. At the reception, a wedding guest dies after sampling the hors d'oeuvres. Café owner and new caterer Darcy Woodin, who made all the food except the desserts, is pegged by police as the number one suspect. Even more incriminating, the victim is one of Darcy's ex-boyfriends . . .

Still, Bailey is friends with Darcy, and she’s certain the young woman is innocent. Even before the first dance with her new husband, Bailey’s on the case. Can she help solve it in time for her honeymoon—or will a killer try to end her happily ever after before it’s even begun . . .?

“🎧 Listened in audio 📢 Narrated by Rebecca Mitchell ⏱ Duration: 9 hours 🏷️ Published by Tantor Media & Kensington Cozies | March 31, 2026 I've followed Bailey King from book one, and every visit back to Harvest feels like coming home, with a side of fudge samples and small-town gossip. Ten books in and this series doesn't lose its charm one bit. Truffle Trouble picks up right as Bailey and Aiden tie the knot, and of course, Amanda Flower can't resist spiking the champagne with a little murder. Flower's signature warmth is that she doesn't just build mysteries, she builds communities. The familiar Amish setting adds sincerity and charm, while the cozy vibe humor keeps things breezy even while bodies start dropping. What really had me hollering though, is Bailey's schedule. This woman investigated a murder, questioned half the town, figured out the killer (which, yes, I guessed too, but the journey was still delicious), pig-sat Jethro for what felt like the entire runtime, and somehow produced approximately two thousand candies overnight, while also being a newlywed and pet parent to a rabbit and a cat! I have one job, and a book review blog, and I don't even cook because it overwhelms me. Bailey, babe, what are you on, and can I have some? The sheer audacity of her productivity is both aspirational and deeply insulting to the rest of us. Rebecca Mitchel's narration deserves its own standing ovation. She moves through English, Pennsylvania Dutch, and Jean Pierre's flamboyant Canadian French seamlessly, while also keeping Bailey's vulnerability and strength unique in her voice. Mami's heart attack loomed in the background, while Jean Pierre's budding romance with Lois added a required layer of warmth in the story. Flower manages to blend humor, tenderness, and suspense into a story that hits all the cozy mystery checkboxes. Would I recommend it? If you've been sleeping on the Amish Candy Shop Mystery series, Truffle Trouble is your sign to start from book one and sprint your way here. It's cozy mystery comfort food — sweet, satisfying, and full of characters you'd genuinely invite to your own wedding. Amanda Flower packs so much heart into this small Ohio town that it barely fits inside nine hours of audio. Bailey may lack a spine when it comes to Margo, but this book? It has plenty. A perfect listen for anyone craving a cozy mystery with community spirit, humor, and heaps of heart.”

“Captivating combo of a well-plotted mystery and a charming glimpse into into the Amish small town of Harvest, Ohio, with a side order of delightfully wacky characters. For longtime readers, Bailey and Aiden finally tie the knot with the help of series favorite, Jethro, the polka-dotted, potbellied pig as ringbearer. Yet that's only one of several pivotal storylines here. And they all kept me turning those pages furosly. Cozy, charming and a great time! Thanks to netgalley and Kensington for the complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.”
