No Use Dying Over Spilled Milk (An Amish Bed and Breakfast Mystery with Recipes (PennDutch #3))
by Tamar Myers
Book
Description:
An Amish Bed and Breakfast Mystery with
Recipes
Magdalena Yoder, Amish-Mennonite
proprietor of the Pennsylvania Dutch Inn, travels to Farmersburg, Ohio for the
funeral of her second cousin (twice removed) who had the unfortunate luck of
drowning in a vat of milk…and, as Magdalena knows, Amish men just don’t go
swimming in milk in the middle of February. Something’s definitely rotten
in Farmersburg…
When another relative is found belly
up, Magdalena puts her (impressive, but attractive nonetheless, thank you very
much) nose to the scent and discovers that a vicious cheese rivalry may be the
cause of all this mayhem!
In between keeping tabs on her saucy sister, Susannah,
avoiding her sardine-loving host and spending time with her new boyfriend,
Aaron Miller (a.k.a. Pooky Bear), Magdalena must find the killer…before more
Yoders bite the dust!
“Myers’ story is as sweet as a piece of brown-sugar pie
(recipe included)…Magdalena is so likeable!” –Booklist
“Bubbling over with mirth and mystery.” –Dorothy Cannell
“A delicious treat.” –Carolyn G. Hart
About
the Author:
Tamar Myers was born and raised in the
Belgian Congo (now just the Congo). Her parents were missionaries to a
tribe which, at that time, were known as headhunters and used human skulls for
drinking cups. Because of her pale blue eyes, Tamar’s nickname was Ugly Eyes.
Her boarding school was two days away
by truck, and sometimes it was necessary to wade through crocodile
infested-waters to reach it. Other dangers she encountered as a child were
cobras, deadly green mambas, and the voracious armies of driver ants that ate
every animal (and human) that didn’t get out of their way.
At sixteen, Tamar's family settled in
America, and she immediately underwent culture shock: she didn’t know how
to dial a telephone, cross a street at a stoplight, or use a vending
machine. She lucked out, however, by meeting her husband, Jeffrey, on her
first day at an American high school. They literally bumped heads while he
was leaving, and she entering, the Civics classroom.
In college Tamar began to submit novels
for publication, but it took twenty-three years for her to get
published. Persistence paid off, however, because Tamar is now the author
of three ongoing mystery series: One is set in Amish Pennsylvania and
features Magdalena Yoder, an Amish-Mennonite sleuth who runs a bed and
breakfast inn; one, set in the Carolinas, centers around the adventures of
Abigail Timberlake, who runs an antique and collectable store (the Den of
Antiquity); and the third is set in the Africa of her youth, with its colorful,
unique inhabitants.
Tamar now calls North Carolina
home. She lives with her husband, a Basenji dog named Pagan, two rescue
kitties: a very large Bengal named Nkashama, and an orange tabby cat who goes
by the name of Dumpster Boy. Tamar enjoys gardening (she is a Master
Gardner), bonsai, travel, painting and, of course, reading. She's currently
working on her next Amish mystery.
