TAMAR MYERS

Meat Thy Maker

Sausages to kill for...The competition to go into business with Hernia's finest sausage makers is getting hotter than Magdalena Yoder's frying pan in this sizzling culinary cozy.

Schmucker Brothers’ Sausages are the talk of the town. The good folk of Hernia are obsessed with the delectable meaty treats, and the prospect of going into partnership with the brothers is proving equally irresistible to investors far and wide, including Magdalena Yoder's current guests at the PennDutch Inn – grocery store chain CEOs Christine Landis and Kathleen Dooley, restaurant owner Terry Tazewell, and Mr Ducky Limehouse.

All four are in town to pitch a business deal to the Schmukers. But after a visit to the brothers’ hog farms, one of the would-be investors is found slaughtered back at the inn. Mags must catch a murderer intent on turning her guests’ juicy pork dreams to rashers! Could there be more to the Schmukers' sausages than meets the eye? As Mags investigates, she stumbles upon a grisly secret...
