At the Beechy Grove Mennonite Church's annual pancake breakfast,
Minerva J. Jay, known for her prodigious appetite, slumps over dead after
ingesting stacks and stacks of hotcakes. Police Chief Chris Ackerman wonders
whether the serving of the fatal flapjacks is a case of assault and
batter.
Magdalena has her own bun in the oven, but that doesn't stop the chief from
asking for her help with
the investigation.
Before Magdalena can begin, however, she has to make a special
delivery of her own. . . .
But being a new mother doesn't mean Magdalena is going to quit her
sleuthing--and it wont stop her from grilling the members of the Men's Club,
who organized the breakfast as a fund-raiser. And just when she thinks
she's found her number-one suspect, he turns up dead, squished flatter than
a pancake by a driverless cement truck. Now, to stop the killer from
cooking up another crime, Magdalena has no choice but to jump from the
frying pan into the fire. |
