Between a Wok and a Hard Place
Tamar Myers
With murder you get egg roll
Ever since her brand-new husband flew the coop, Magdalena
Yoder, owner of the quaint PennDutch Inn, has had time to
kill. And now the local Amish community really has a
murder in its midst: an Asian tourist found strangled and
run over by a horse and buggy. It isn’t a crime police
chief Melvin Stolzfus can easily handle; after all, he was
once kicked in the head by a bull he was trying to milk.
But he’s smart enough to deputize Magdalena. Soon Magdalena is off visiting the neatly kept farms of the
Plain People in search of the truth. Although not an
outsider, she’s about as welcome as a fox in a henhouse.
Something dangerous is being concealed behind their dour
faces and determination to protect their own. And for
Magdalena, finding a killer may just put her between the
rock of faith and a hard place called justice…
