Batter Off Dead
Tamar Myers
New in the national bestselling series Magdalena
Yoder solves a case of hotcake homicide.
During a church breakfast, Minerva J. Jay, known for her
prodigious appetite, slumps over after ingesting several
stacks of pancakes. Police Chief Chris Ackerman wonders if
the serving of the fatal flapjacks is a case of assault and
batter. Magdalena has her own bun in the oven, but that
doesn't stop the chief from asking for her help with the
investigation.
Before Magdalena can begin, however, she has to make a
special delivery of her ownand just when she thinks
she's found her number one suspect, he turns up dead,
squished flatter than a pancake by a driverless cement
truck. Now, to stop the killer from cooking up another
crime, Magdalena has no choice but to jump from the frying
pan into the fire.
