“Murde r Simply Played” When it comes to solving a local basketball coach’s murder, the ball is in Liz Eckardt’s court. Liz Eckardt’s Olde Mansion Inn welcomes a lively group of local high school alumni visiting Pleasant Creek, Indiana, to support their alma mater’s basketball team. However, old rivalries resurface, and Liz has her hands full acting as referee to the inn's spirited guests -- until the coach of the home team is found dead in his office. The death appears to be of natural causes, but his bereaved fiancée thinks something is amiss. Was the coach a victim of foul play? Liz soon learns not everyone in Pleasant Creek was a fan of the amiable sportsman. Suspicious acts of vandalism prior to his death suggest someone had it out for him, but who could it be? An abandoned daughter, a disappointed dropout, and a colleague confined to the sidelines all had good reason to take Coach Albertson out of the game. But which of his rivals sported a grudge poisonous enough to commit murder? This clever whodunit from the Amish Inn Mysteries series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, Amish life, and female friendships.
