Tamar Myers is the funniest lady in mystery fiction. Her previous eight novels featuring Magdalena Yoder have delighted and puzzled legions of fans. Now, return to the PennDutch Inn, where the list of guests reads like a list of suspects, especially afer one of the locals is found murdered.
The Crepes of Wrath is the best entry yet in this crowd-pleasing series.
Lizzie Mast was the world's worst cook there's a little doubt that in the quiet town of Hernia, Pennsylvania. But now someone has gone and killed her with a bad batch of crepes. Some folks believe her desserts are just, but not Magdalena. So while the local police chief, Melvin Stoltzfus, is busy running his political campaign, newly "deputized" Magdalena agrees to take charge of the investigation.
Meanwhile, the PennDutch Inn is awash in new guests, from a big-boned gym teacher to a snooty Hollywood couple, eager for an authentic Amish experience and driving cook Freni Hostetler to the breaking point. But is helping solve a crime part of the cultural package? Suddenly, Magdalena's questions have angered the wrong person, and she finds herself at the mercy of a very determined killer.
Fast-paced and relentlessly funny, The Crepes of Wrath proves that when it comes to culinary crime, Tamar Myers knows just what ingredients to stir.
