“Think Mayberry R.F.D. with Mennonites. Think Murder, She
Wrote with a Pennsylvania Dutch accent. Instead of Jessica
Fletcher, think Magdalena Yoder, a plain-dressing, blunt-
speaking, middle-aged innkeeper who frequently rescues the
incompetent chief of police by solving his cases…The
series’ popularity is rising like sticky bun dough.”—
Morning Call (Allentown, PA)
Tamar Myers’s mouthwatering mysteries have “all the right
ingredients” (Mostly Murder), including hilarious heroine
Magdalena Yoder. In this delicious new novel, Magdalena’s
cozy PennDutch Inn is faced with some very deadly
competition…
Kentucky Colonel George Custard thinks Magdalena’s hometown
of Hernia, Pennsylvania is perfect…so perfect in fact, he
has decided to build his new mega five-star hotel there.
And if everything goes according to plan, roads will be
widened and wealthy tourists will start pouring in by the
thousands. But not everyone thinks this is such a good
idea, as the new superstructure will surely destroy the
town’s quaint and quiet ambience. Meanwhile, Hernia has
another unwelcome guest to worry about, after wild reports
that Bigfoot is roaming the area.
At a town council meeting, several vocal citizens arrive to
protest Custard’s project, including Magdalena. Soon after,
the colonel is found murdered—shot to death at the
PennDutch Inn. No one minded telling him off, but killing
him off is a different story. With the police investigation
going nowhere, Magdalena takes it upon herself to find out
who caused Custard’s last stand. She must stay one step
ahead of both the rumors and the builders to solve the
case, restore peace—and save her beloved town…
