Love Lancaster County and a good mystery? 🔍Then the Ruby Finch Mystery Series is your next reading adventure.

In the rolling fields and hidden corners of Lancaster County, every secret has a story… and Ruby Finch has a knack for stumbling right into them.

1️⃣It all begins with Book 1: Last Will and Puzzlement—when Ruby receives her grandmother Evie’s ashes, plus a trail of puzzles only a drama loving octogenarian would dream up. Soon Ruby and her twin brother Roddy are zig zagging through Amish dry goods stores, forgotten factories, and even the Lancaster County of the 1930s. Each clue reveals a version of Evie they never saw coming… and a truth with enough zing to turn their world on its head.

🔥But the past is only the warm up act.

2️⃣In Book 2: Banking on the Truth, Ruby’s big event goes from confetti to catastrophe in record time—a guest collapses, Roddy gets arrested, and suddenly the Finch twins’ businesses are hanging by a thread. Determined to clear her brother’s name, Ruby follows a fresh batch of clues through Lancaster County’s postcard perfect charm and its not so perfect shadows—where one lie could shut down everything they’ve worked so hard to build.

From speakeasies of the past to the secrets simmering beneath Lancaster County’s peaceful surface today, the Ruby Finch Mystery Series blends heart, humor, and high stakes hijinks.

🔍Every mystery begins with a clue. And Ruby Finch and her crew are turning cracking them into their favorite accidental hobby.
