Assault And Pepper
Tamar Myers
Tamar Myers’s savory mysteries starring Mennonite innkeeper Magdalena Yoder consistently have readers “crying tears of laughter” (The Best Reviews). Now, the national bestselling author cooks up another satisfying new tale—and a pot of killer chili…
INCLUDES DELICIOUS NEW RECIPES!
It’s a five-alarm frenzy as Magdalena Yoder and the rest of
the congregation of the Beechy Grove Mennonite Church get
ready for the annual chili supper cook-off. But just when
the devout diners sit down to eat, beloved Reverend Schrock
falls face down into his bowl. It seems someone slipped
some peanut butter into the chili, knowing full well that
the good Reverend was deathly allergic to peanuts. Never one to turn her back on a weeping widow, Magdalena
agrees to investigate. But once she begins to look into the
victim’s death—and life—she discovers that Schrock wasn’t
as well liked as she’d thought. There’s more than one
person with reason to want him dead, including the serial
monogamist with a grudge and the wrongly convicted man who
spent seven years in jail after the reverend testified
against him in court. As more foibles and squabbles amass,
Magdalena struggles to find the truth amidst evidence that
is becoming a full out assault on the senses…
