Custard's Last Stand “Think Mayberry R.F.D. with Mennonites. Think Murder, She Wrote with a Pennsylvania Dutch accent. Instead of Jessica Fletcher, think Magdalena Yoder, a plain-dressing, blunt- speaking, middle-aged innkeeper who frequently rescues the incompetent chief of police by solving his cases…The series’ popularity is rising like sticky bun dough.”— Morning Call (Allentown, PA) Tamar Myers’s mouthwatering mysteries have “all the right ingredients” (Mostly Murder), including hilarious heroine Magdalena Yoder. In this delicious new novel, Magdalena’s cozy PennDutch Inn is faced with some very deadly competition… Kentucky Colonel George Custard thinks Magdalena’s hometown of Hernia, Pennsylvania is perfect…so perfect in fact, he has decided to build his new mega five-star hotel there. And if everything goes according to plan, roads will be widened and wealthy tourists will start pouring in by the thousands. But not everyone thinks this is such a good idea, as the new superstructure will surely destroy the town’s quaint and quiet ambience. Meanwhile, Hernia has another unwelcome guest to worry about, after wild reports that Bigfoot is roaming the area. At a town council meeting, several vocal citizens arrive to protest Custard’s project, including Magdalena. Soon after, the colonel is found murdered—shot to death at the PennDutch Inn. No one minded telling him off, but killing him off is a different story. With the police investigation going nowhere, Magdalena takes it upon herself to find out who caused Custard’s last stand. She must stay one step ahead of both the rumors and the builders to solve the case, restore peace—and save her beloved town… INCLUDES A HALF-DOZEN HEAVENLY CUSTARD RECIPES!
