Plain As Day by Laura Bradford is a short story from the “Amish” mystery series, published by Beyond the Page, March 2018.

The national bestselling author of A Churn for the Worse returns to the Amish community of Heavenly, Pennsylvania, where shop owner Claire Weatherly must unravel the perplexing ties between a lost piece of jewelry and the disappearance of a cherished author.

When a mysterious rattling sound confounds the guests at Heavenly’s local inn, Detective Jakob Fisher steps in and cleverly deduces the noise’s source. But the necklace he discovers sparks an even larger mystery when Claire realizes it’s connected to the writing of a popular author who’s vanished and left her fans clamoring for a new book.

Determined to track down the necklace’s owner, Claire vows to follow the clues wherever they lead—even if it means finding someone who might not want to be found . . .

Claire is back in her latest mystery and I’m so happy. When a rattling sound is made in a recent purchase by her aunt, Claire is determined to solve the puzzling case of the misplaced necklace. This well-written drama had a comfortable tone and pacing that was on par with how well this story was being told. The mystery was done with great aplomb, keeping me entranced in all aspects of this delightfully engaging tale. From finding the necklace to searching for clues that lead to the necklace’s rightful owner whose story pulled at my heart strings. I really miss this endearing series and I’m so thrilled that there is a full-length novel coming in December.
