"A brand-new quirky mystery with recipes in the longrunning Pennsylvania-Dutch series."
When a bestselling novelist falls face-down dead into Magdalena Yoder s prize-winning apple pie during the village of Hernia s 110th Annual Festival of Pies, there is no shortage of suspects in the subsequent murder investigation. A former guest at Magdalena s PennDutch Inn, the author had made many enemies on publication of her subsequent tell-all book, exposing the faults and foibles of members of the local Amish/Mennonite community, and mocking their way of life. But who was enraged enough to want to poison the acid-tongued writer?
Hopelessly out of his depth, Hernia s inexperienced young Chief of Police requests Magdalena s help in uncovering the answer. As she sets about questioning her friends and neighbours, Magdalena discovers that more than one villager has a secret to hide."
