Liz Eckardt is busy juggling the demands of her colorful guests at the Olde Mansion Inn in the delightful town of Pleasant Creek, Indiana, when she's summoned to jury duty. Expecting it to be a quiet respite from the hectic pace at the inn, Liz prepares to escape into a good mystery novel. But the waiting room is far from quiet. Fellow juror Nora Wexler is loud, rude, and spends her free time insulting people and complaining about her ex-husband. When Liz asks Nora to keep it down so she can read, Nora explodes in anger. After the case is settled and the jurors are dismissed, Liz waits at the elevator. The door opens, and Nora collapses in front of her, struggling to breathe. She points at Liz and whispers, "She tried to kill me." When Nora dies, Liz finds herself smack-dab in the middle of a real-life mystery -- and a prime suspect in a murder case. Attempting to clear her name by locating the real killer, Liz embarks on her own investigation with help from her friends in the Material Girls quilting group and the town's mayor, Jackson Cross. During the search, Liz is not surprised to learn that Nora had made plenty of enemies in her life. But Liz is surprised when her own life is threatened. Will she identify the murderer before she becomes the next victim?… (mehr)

As a former lawyer, Liz knows she will be dismissed from serving on a jury, but she still has to report. She gets into a verbal disagreement with an obnoxious prospective juror. As luck would have it, Liz is still at the courthouse when this woman stumbles from the elevator, looks at Liz, and collapses, accusing her of murder. To clear herself, Liz sets out to find out who really did it. It’s an entertaining mystery and a gentle read. I like the way the author works in secondary characters and storylines, to make the novel more interesting. ( )

As far as I remember, I have not read other books in this series. The words "old order" in the title caught my eye and made me wonder if it was a book set in an Amish setting--it is, but most of the characters in it are not Amish. In fact, the lack of explanation of the history of the characters might be my one complaint about this book.

Liz Eckhardt seems to have some connection to the Amish community--I believe somewhere in the book it said her mother was Amish--though they'd also lived outside the Amish community as well if what I remember reading is correct. Liz runs the inn where most of the story takes place. Her inn also has a quilt shop attached that is run by two other ladies. Many of Liz's guests are quilters.

Beans is an interesting dog who goes from being a lay-about to being a bit more of an active part of the story. Another character brings her pet snake to the inn. The child (Brya) was a bit much at first--I don't think she was as interested in quilting as her mother thought she'd be. She did seem to settle down and grow up a bit as the novel progressed.

The characters about whom we get the most history are Nora Wexler and Prudence Spratt, both of whom left the Amish community at the same time. Nora either already had a non-Amish man in love with her or soon found him--and it appears she dropped her "friendship" with Prudence once that happened. Prudence tried returning to the Amish community but found she really didn't fit in either world (Amish or non-Amish) but chose leaving the community again.

I had a feeling Prudence would be a factor in Nora's death, but I didn't guess where they would find Prudence. ( )
