Why read it?
1 author picked Dead Wrong as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Agatha Lapp is one of the most well-written Amish protagonists I’ve read. She is reserved and stiff but wholly likable. She holds right to the idea and truth of what an Amish woman is like. She is also caring and real.

The mystery itself is a great whodunit that kept me turning the pages…
From Amy's list on The best cozy mysteries set in Amish Country.
