Book Description:
At the annual church chili supper, Reverend Schrock falls face down into his bowl. It seems someone put peanut butter in the chili, knowing full well that he was allergic.
As Pennsylvania Dutch Innkeeper Magdalena Yoder investigates, she finds plenty of people who wanted the reverend dead, including a serial monogamist with a grudge and a wrongly-accused man whom the reverend testified against. As more motives emerge, Magdalena struggles to find the truth amidst evidence that is all too quickly becoming a five-alarm frenzy.

When the rev falls over dead in his chili, it's up to Mags to find out if this was murder, an accident or suicide. There were a couple of surprises in this one. I laugh out loud at the antics of Mags & Freni. This is one of my favorite series.

Magdalena Yoder is a Mennonite innkeeper who with the rest of the congregation of the church get ready for the annual chili supper cook-off. Just when the devout diners sit down to eat, beloved reverend Schrock falls facedown dead, into a pot of the savory chili. Magdalena is requested by the widow to investigate the death. This book has a half dozen zesty chili recipes.

Very cute reading. It was different from the mysteries I read. But it was a nice change.
Magdalena Yoder the owner of the inn solves the murder of her minister in this book. It's funny and ends in a way that you would not imagine. Has great recipes for chili as well. A very good book.
Judy H. from DOVER, DE wrote on 4/25/2007...The 13th book in the wildly funny Pennsylvania Dutch mystery series, featuring Mennonite bread & breakfast owner, Magadalena Yoder.
The author's Amish background and familiarity with the culture and beliefs of the PA Dutch community add greatly to the series. Good mystery stories in themselves, the series also provides a humorous look at a Eastern sub-cultural group.
Ruth E. from ISLIP TERRACE, NY wrote on 4/13/2007...Another Magdalena Yoder mystery, funny as always.
Robin B. from SAN DIEGO, CA wrote on 2/1/2007...This is such a good series.
Cute, quick read. The series does seem to get weaker the further along it gets, almost like she's grasping for ideas. Still worth the time to read, though.
Carol N. from JAMESTOWN, CA wrote on 12/23/2006...These TM Mysteries are a treat to read. Plus, recipes!
I like this series -- this one had an ending that was quite a surprise if you've been following the storyline.
Susan F. (These books are always good for a chuckle. I loved the surprise ending in this one!
