Simple Secrets, by Nancy Mehl

Just like the name, Harmony is a wonderful place to live with friendly down to earth people and quaint little shops. Everybody seems to love each other and help each other out but it was not always this way. Over twenty years ago, the ladies in town were afraid of a Jacob Glick and the harsh Mennonite bishop seemed to turn his head as to what Jacob did. Gracie's parents once lived in Harmony but left that town along with Gracie's grandparents. The only family member who remained was Benjamin who did not communicate with his family all these years. He cut off contact because he was protecting Gracie's father from a crime he thought was committed. Benjamin dies and leaves everything to Gracie. Gracie comes to the town in order to sell off the estate. While there she learns through a letter that Benjamin left that he thought his brother was responsible for Jacob Glick's death which was the reason he cut himself off from his family all these years.
While in Harmony Gracie meets Sam, a local farmer and together they find out all the secrets that Harmony holds.

With a lot of mystery/suspense books I will have the murderer figured out before the end of the book. Jacob Glick was not liked by ANY person in Harmony so it could have been anybody who decided to rid Harmony of this menace. I did not figure this one out until the author revealed who it was and then it all made sense. There are two more books in the series and I can't wait to read them. I have recently discovered this author and looking forward to reading more works by her in the future
