Liz Eckardt, owner of the Olde Mansion Inn bed-and-breakfast in Indiana's Amish country, is offering something new: a Sherlock-Holmes-inspired weekend complete with Victorian treats she baked on her own street and a mystery to solve. With all the hard work she's put in to prepare, the affair should be a study in simple—until Liz deduces that something decidedly illogical is going on. As part of the fun, Liz has enlisted the help of an amateur magician to pickpocket the participants then give the items to Liz for safekeeping. But when more possessions start disappearing, even though her visitors surely locked their doors, Liz can't help but wonder if her friend has embarked on a real life of crime. Is he the mastermind behind the thefts? Yet there are other suspects to be eliminated. A dotty woman and her doting daughter may be the dears stalking other guests. A writer who hasn't sold a book in years has more motive than most. A chatty actress who claims she wants to shadow Liz for an upcoming role as an innkeeper could be guilty, but will she pipe down long enough for Liz to hear the truth? And what about the portly, pizza-loving patron whose purpose for being in town is cloaked in mystery? What's on his plate may turn out to be anything but elementary. Liz will need all the assistance she can get from her sidekicks the Material Girls and her brave bulldog, Beans, if she's to reason out what game's afoot in Pleasant Creek. Can she restore justice to her Home Sweet Holmes ... or will this be her final problem?
