1st in the Magdelena Yoder series. Sending to Diane in IL for MOTM in Read-n-Swap 10/06.

I received this in the mail yesterday from pammykn in FL ... as part of Read-n-Swap yahoo group MOTM (Member of the Month).

c. 1994 -- 246 pages -- Paperback -- #1 Pennsylvania-Dutch Mystery with Recipes

Back Cover: Recipe for death. When a new guest takes a fatal fall down the little PennDutch Inn's quaintly steep stairs, Miss Magdalena Yoder, the no-nonsense owner, is more worried about a lawsuit than foul play.

Magdalena also has a bushel of other troubles: An arrogant congressman and his wife check in for deer hunting, offending the other guests who are animal-rights activists; Her Amish cook up and quits when vegetarians refuse to eat her hearty Pennsylvania-Dutch cooking. But when a second guest is found stiff, cold, and dead on Magdalena's handmade quilt, she's sure there's a killer somewhere on the premises.

I finished reading this today. I've read other books in this series, so it was good to discover the beginnings. Magdalena has such a humorous way of saying and doing things.

RELEASE NOTES:
