Just Plain Pickled to Death
Tamar Myers
A well-preserved corpse
A Twenty-year-old barrel of genuine Pennsylvania Dutch
sauerkraut isn’t Magdalena Yoder’s idea of a great wedding
present from her future father-in-law. Especially when it
has a corpse in it. And it sure puts Mennonite-born
Magdalena, owner of the picturesque PennDutch Inn, in a
pickle. She has just one week before she ties the knot
with the man of her dreams—and this bride of forty-four
will allow nothing to delay her nuptials, even murder. Of course, Magdalena recognizes the victim, who is as well
preserved as a gherkin. It’s her fiancé’s cousin Sarah,
who’s been missing for years. Soon Magdalena’s inn is
filled with unwanted guests—eccentric aunts and loopy
uncles of the deceased. And Magdalena—shrewd as she is
peppery—suspects one of them to be the killer. Now she is
over a barrel, blowing the lid off a mystery two decades
old, and digging up a scandal that may shake her Amish
hometown to the bedrock and send her to a funeral—her own—
instead of her wedding day!
