Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
National bestselling author Tamar Myers turns up the spice
Praise for the Pennsylvania Dutch mysteries:
Includes tasty curry recipes!
Three days before he's due to tie the knot with Priscilla Livengood, eligible bachelour Cornelious Weaver suffers a massive heart attack-in another woman's bed. The scandal is about as good as television for the insular citizens of Hernia, Pennsylvania, and it gets even spicier when the coroner's report reveals possible foul play: Cornelious's curry was spiked with a stimulant.
Innkeeper-cum-sleuth Magdalena Yoder can't help but investigate-and soon discovers that the old adage about a woman scorned is true...

Ridiculously stupid story with a main character who is unintelligent, self-centered, overly-opinionated, and extremely unlikable. This story is lame and insulting, not worth your time.

Wish I had read the reviews here before taking this book out of the library. It wasn't even worth reading for free!! It surprises me that anyone finds this drivel, disguised as dialogue (or inner-dialogue) entertaining. I found myself groaning through the main character's constant interruptions in thought pattern, to make inane un-funny diatribes (about boring trivia). These "asides" did not advance the thin plot one bit. I wouldn't wish this book on my worst enemy.

It seems that with each Magdalena novel, the writer gets more over the top. Magdalena gets sillier and the dialogue gets more ridiculous.
I have gotten very tired of things such as Magdelena's description of the restaurant owner who has had a hotdog buried in her hairdo for twenty years.
Maybe it's time to back off on the cutesy repetitious character descriptions and have more of the mystery. I love the stepdaugther and some of the Amish stuff, but I would like to see more focus on what could be very good mysteries.

I have been a fan of this series from the beginning but this one seems slightly "off". There are way too many silly Magdelena jokes even for us die hard fans. They appear in nearly every line of dialogue. Also, the many "lovers" of the victim are running together each more unbelievable than the one before. Not her best work by a long shot. I will probably get around to finishing this book on a cold, rainy day.

I picked this book up after reading The Grilling Season by Diane Mott Davidson, thinking it would the same sort of mystery book with food recipes worked into the story. However after reading very first few chapters it was apparent the recipes had nothing to do with the story!! there was a 'chapter' that had a recipe and some information on curry and seemed like it was printed in the wrong book. completely random. I felt the author was trying to be funny when it wasn't funny, and if something mentioned was suppose to be funny mentioned once, it quickly lost it's humour after the 5th time of being mentioned! I kept asking my self why in the world is there so much attention being paid to her asking others if she was beautiful? A little self absorbed? Hello! some dood just got offed by some 'Hoochie-Coochie' did you forget? Some of the terms used in this book seemed silly (matress mambo, hoochie coochie, stiff christian panties etc) and just not funny. I found myself getting annoyed at how the book just came across as a bit narrow-minded and judgemental and a waste of time to read. Characters were unbelievable undeveloped and unlikable. I figure I have better books to read rather than waste my time trying to plow through the entire book. If I could I'd give it no stars.
