               Here we go again.   Angie Braddock has returned for her fourth book in the Amish Quilt Shop Mystery series.   This time Angie gets talked into running the library book sale.   She isn’t too happy about this as she does still have her own shop to run, but she knows that helping with something like this book sale will be good publicity for her shop.   At least that’s what she thinks until a body is found in the library bookmobile.   With her friend Austina as the main suspect, Angie sets out to find the real killer, all the while wondering if the police have had the true culprit all along.                    While every case Angie takes on has its difficulties, this one seems to have far more than usual.   That’s because the man who was murdered was the bishop of a very conservative Amish sect.   The likelihood of anyone speaking to Angie is slim.   Not only is she an outsider, but she is also a woman.   Two things Angie does not necessarily have to fight against w
