An Amish Bed and Breakfast Mystery with Recipes – PennDutch Mysteries #15
Cornelious Weaver, one of Hernia's most eligible bachelors, is due to finally tie the knot—but three days before the big wedding, he's found dead…in another woman's bed!!
The scandal is better than a made-for-TV-movie—not that any of the good citizens of Hernia own a television—and the details get even more delicious: Cornelious wasn't just cheating on his bride-to-be; he was carrying on affairs all over town!
When the coroner's report reveals that Cornelious's curry was spiked, Magdalena's hunt for the killer becomes red hot…with plenty of dishy suspects to choose from!!!
"Bubbling over with mirth and mystery." –Dorothy Cannell
"A delicious treat." –Carolyn G. Hart
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Myers's over-the-top 15th crime caper starring Amish-Mennonite sleuth and innkeeper Magdalena Yoder (after 2006's Grape Expectations), the corpse du jour is the once-handsome scoundrel Cornelius Weaver, who may have been murdered by any one of seven women his lovers. Familiar cast members provide the usual foils to Magdalena's running (and often very tired) jokes and too-breezy banter as she worries about her looks and upcoming mixed faith marriage to Dr. Gabriel Rosen more than she does about her investigation of Cornelius's killer. The thin plot is so improbable and haphazard, it's a relief but no great surprise when Magdalena closes that case and solves another murder as well. Cornelius's death-by-painkiller-laced Indian dish inspires the curry-themed recipes sandwiched between chapters. Maybe it's time to close the kitchen and order takeout?
