I love funny murder mysteries - even though it sounds like an oxymoron, but Tamara Myers does the Pennsylvania Dutch/Amish so well! This book deals with a group of hunters who visit the Inn that Miss Yoder runs. A couple in the group refuses to eat the hearty cooking that is such a trademark of the Pennsylvania Dutch, and the cook quits. Of course the mystery is solvesd, the cook comes back to work at the Inn, and everything is fine - until the next mystery in the series.
The recipes are to die for (bad use of words), and I grew up eating a lot of the same foods, and still cook them. This is one very enjoyable book.
