Home Fires Burning

Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries #26

by Elizabeth Adams

Cheryl and Levi Miller are settling into married life and enjoying their daughter Rebecca’s first year. But when a mysterious fire destroys Seth and Naomi’s barn, Cheryl sets out to find the culprit. Soon, more blazes confirm Cheryl’s suspicion— someone is intentionally setting fires in Sugarcreek. Cheryl’s efforts to find the perpetrator uncover more questions than answers. Her list of suspects is growing rather shrinking. Between raising an infant daughter, managing a busy household, and juggling her work at the Swiss Miss, she really doesn’t have time to devote to the business of sleuthing. But, when the home she shares with Levi is threatened, and her daughter’s very life is at risk, it’s a race against time to stop the arsonist before disaster strikes again.

Home Fires Burning is a thrilling mystery written by Elizabeth Adams in the Sugarcreek Amish Mystery series. The author draws the reader in within the first few pages when Levi's parents barn burns to the ground. Arson is suspected and this sets Cheryl into motion to discover the person responsible. As more barns are burned and Cheryl's suspect list grows there is something she is overlooking. When Cheryl gets to close to the suspect her own home and life of her daughter are threatened. Cheryl takes a closer look at the suspects and now feels she knows exactly who is behind all the fires. When all is revealed it is a shocking discovery. This story will definitely keep the reader turning pages.

I was not given a complimentary copy of this book to read and review. I was not approached to post a favorable response and all opinions are my own. I have rated this story with five stars for meeting my expectations of a wonderful story that I can highly recommend to others.

Simple cozy sweet read. Nothing necessarily profound or breathtaking and pretty simple toward the end to figure out the mystery. If you need a sweet simple clean cozy little book to pass time this is a good one. Definitely not a thriller or anything profound. Yet, a clean sweet innocent simple read.

This was awesome and shows you how Amish comes together and support each other after a fire,even if you are not Amish.Also Cheryl does it again solving a mystery,but upsets me that Amish Gideon set a fire with her daughter in the barn.That Amish Gideon needs help,not jail time.
