A new musical from the producers of The Confession Based on the book by New York Times Bestselling Author Wanda E. Brunstetter and Emmy-Nominated Author Martha Bolton. This amazing duo has baked up a delightful whodunit from Ohio's Amish country.
Mysteries have a way of following Fannie Miller, so when she makes it into the finals of the Tuscarawas County Baking Contest and contestants start disappearing, she calls on her old friend Foster Bates, a retired cop and part-time private investigator. Could it be that other finalists are somehow responsible for these disappearances, thinning out the competition? Like the couple on the verge of divorce who need the prize money, or the three Beiler sisters, always in a huddle whispering. One thing is for certain - Foster and Fannie will stay on the case until the end, and everyone involved will have learned something important about baking contests, solving mysteries, and life.
A NOTE FROM WANDA E. BRUNSTETTER
The idea to write The Rise and Fall of Miss Fannie's Biscuits was presented to me from Martha Bolton, who is an author and playwright. She asked if I might like to co-author the book with her, which will also be adapted into a musical play. The idea sounded fun, so I worked it into my schedule. The Blue Gate Musical Company did a musical play a few years ago, based on my Daughters of Lancaster County series. They included a character named Foster Bates, a detective, and in the process of finding out who stole a baby, he teamed up with Fannie Miller. Fannie is an Amish woman I had introduced in my series set in Lancaster. In this new book, Fannie and Foster are working together again, this time on a new mystery that involves a baking contest.
