From one of the founders of the Amish fiction genre, New York Times bestselling author Wanda Brunstetter—who has sold over 12 million copies—teams up with Emmy nominee Martha Bolton for an intriguing cozy mystery, The Rise and Fall of Miss Fannie’s Biscuits, a new book released this week by Barbour Books.
In this latest book, we meet Fannie Miller, a dedicated quilt maker with a passion for baking and an uncanny knack for solving mysteries. Fannie is thrilled to have met a life goal by qualifying for the finals of the Tuscarawas County Baking Contest with a $25,000 cash prize.
However, excitement quickly turns to suspense when contestants begin to vanish under suspicious circumstances. Determined to uncover the truth, Fannie enlists the help of her old friend Foster Bates, a retired cop and part-time private investigator. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they encounter a cast of quirky characters – could the couple on the brink of divorce be resorting to desperate measures, or do the three whispering Beiler sisters hold the key to the disappearances?
Join Fannie and Foster on this mysterious adventure, where every twist unravels the secrets behind the baking contest, but also imparts valuable lessons about dealing with loss, facing marriage difficulties, and the healing power of selfess acts of kindness.
Additionally, fans can look forward to experiencing Fannie Miller, Detective Foster Bates, and the colorful cast of characters in a musical adaptation of the book. The play will open in Bird-in-Hand, PA on April 3, 2025, with performances also scheduled to open in Shipshewana, IN, on July 1, 2025.
