The Crepes of Wrath

An Amish Bed and Breakfast Mystery with Recipes – PennDutch Mysteries #9 When kindly Lizzie Mast, a local Amish woman—and Hernia's worst cook—is found poisoned by a bad plate of crepes, bumbling local police chief, Melvin Stoltzfus, begs Magdalena Yoder, the irrepressible owner (and sleuth extraordinaire!) of the PennDutch Inn, to help him investigate. With her bed and breakfast full of quirky guests, and her handsome new boyfriend to entertain, Magdalena isn't sure she has time for Stoltzfus's foolery. Cleverly (and frugally!) she puts her seven guests on A.L.P.O. (the Amish Lifestyle Plan Option), where guests pay an additional fee for the opportunity to cook for themselves, clean for themselves and do Magdalena's chores for her. Still, solving the crime won't be a plate of flapjacks; Lizzie's husband blames the neighbor's 'Amish gone wild' sons; whose rumschpringa exploits are wreaking havoc but even more shocking, the trail of clues leads straight back to the PennDutch Inn…and Magdalena fears that this killer is cooking up something flat-out deadly!!!
