GRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT
Add a helping of “rollicking suspense” (The Washington Post) to a “great sense of humor” (Murder Most Cozy), and you’ve discovered Tamar Myers’s recipe for success.  Her irrepressible sleuth Magdalena Yoder has become a favorite among readers with an appetite for crime.  Because at Magdalena’s PennDutch Inn, the desserts are drop-dead delicious, and the menu features murder.

When imprisoned con man Clarence Webber meets his Maker after sampling a bowl of gruel laced with arsenic, it’s cruel and unusual punishment indeed.  And since Magdalena provided the last meal, she’s convinced that one of Clarence’s many visitors must have added the sinister secret ingredient.  But with the reputation of her establishment at stake, Magdalena puts on her detective bonnet once again, determined to discover who in Hernia poisoned the porridge.

But with a quartet of quirky female suspects who all claim to be the victim’s widow, a bumbling  sheriff with political aspirations, and the appearance of a young hellion with a ton of attitude who insists she is Magdalena’s daughter, this is one grueling mystery the intrepid innkeeper may be sorry she ever tried to solve.
