Agatha Lapp is having renovations done on her bed and breakfast before heading Indiana to visit her children and grandchildren. Agatha makes a few ceremonial whacks into the wall for the local news which reveals something shiny inside. It appears a diamond studded belt buckle that was stolen twenty years ago has been found. Unfortunately, treasure hunters believe there is more booty to be found on Agatha’s property which results in a series of break-ins. After the latest destructive break-in, a man is found dead down the road. Agatha, Gina, and Tony decide to do a little hunting of their own. Dead Set is the 3rd tale in Agatha’s Amish B&B series. Dead Set can be read as a standalone for those new to the series (I really recommend reading all three merry tales). It is always a delight to visit Agatha Lapp along with Gina and Tony. I can always count on having a good time. Dead Set is well-written with engaging characters. There is a great cast of secondary characters as well. Agatha has a wonderful bishop who is very supportive. The story moves along at a quick pace. I began reading Dead Set and did not want to stop. It has a great whodunit that is multifaceted. It involves the past when there was a string of burglaries in the area and the present with people trying to recover the stolen goods plus a murder. Agatha, Tony, and Gina actively work the case. There are several good suspects along with misdirection. I had fun solving the mystery where I discovered it is important to pay close attention to the details. There is humor scattered throughout the story that had me laughing. Gina’s deeds and words were especially amusing. Dead Set is a lively cozy mystery that I did not want to end. I cannot wait for my next trip to Texas to visit Agatha, Gina, and Tony. Dead Set is an amusing whodunit with bedazzled belt buckle, tenacious treasure hunters, worrying renovations, trigger happy housekeeper, a tender neighbor, and a probing B & B owner. ( )
