Hearse and Buggy by Laura Bradford

This is the first book in a cozy mystery series. Claire has a shop in an Amish village where her aunt runs a bed and breakfast. This allows Claire a new start in life after her divorce. The simple little town turns out to be a little more complicated when Walter, a man who stole from the Amish, is murdered. Claire begins her own investigation into the murder and wants to help Jakob, a detective who recently returned to his Amish hometown, find the murderer. 

This book was a good read. Claire is a likable main character. She is intelligent. The setting of a romantic triangle between Jakob/Claire/Benjamin happened in this book but it was not the center of the story. Secondary characters were interesting and the small town setting was wonderfully described. I will continue this series.
