A Well-Preserved Corpse
A twenty-your-old barrel of genuine Pennsylvania Dutch sauerkraut isn't Magdalena Yoder's idea of a great wedding present from her future father-in-law.  Especially when it has a corpse in it.  And it sure puts Mennonite-born Magdalena, owner of the picturesque PennDutch Inn, in a pickle.  She has just one week before she ties the knot with the man of her dreams--and this bride of forty-four will allow nothing to delay her nuptials, even murder.

Of course, Magdalena recognizes the victim, who is as well preserved as a gherkin.  It's her fiancé's cousin Sarah, who's been missing for years.  Soon Magdalena's inn is filled with unwanted guest--eccentric aunts and loopy uncles of the deceased.  And Magdalena--shrewd as she is peppery--suspects one of them is the killer.  Now she is over a barrel, blowing the lid off a mystery two decades old, and digging up a scandal that may shake her Amish hometown to the bedrock and send her to a funeral--her own--instead of her wedding day!
