An Amish Bed and Breakfast Mystery with Recipes – PennDutch Mysteries #11
When Colonel George Custard arrives in Hernia in a shiny stretch-limo, the town isn’t exactly enthusiastic. And when he announces that he plans to build a glitzy new hotel in Hernia, the residents are outraged at the threat to their quaint, quiet town. Protests soon get heated!
As usual, Magdalena is right in the thick of the action—especially when the colonel is found shot to death at the PennDutch Inn.
Now Magdalena Yoder must find out who caused the Colonel’s Custard's last stand—or she may lose the PennDutch Inn forever…

See my review on "Thou shalt not Grill" I felt more and more with each book I read, that these stories irritated me instead of intriguing me with the mystery. Just not my style of humor and it became more trite and I became more tired wading through the same ideas and asides to the reader regarding the main character and her lifestyle and her quest for a man, and the characters dislike for most of the other characters in the story, over and over.Product details

Custard Last Stand An Amish Bed and Breakfast Mystery with Recipes Book 11 edition by Tamar Myers Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Maybe it's because I am reading these en-masse, one after the other (being new to the series), but there is a horrible lack of continuity between the books, esp. this and the previous. Allison was 13 (almost 14) when she was intro'd in the prior book; here she is 12. Her all-too-easy adaptation into this new lifestyle was quite unrealistic (although it's hard to truly criticize, as her story is barely touched on--seems like she was added merely to give Mags a "child" and fill a plot line). Mags' kitten, Little Freni, who was all but forgotten at the end of the prior book and not mentioned till early on in this book--telling us Mags had to give LF up because Allison was allergic. Things like this you would think would be covered in the story and not mentioned in passing. I had that problem when reading the book that started in the aftermath of a tornado also. I had to stop reading and look online to see if I'd missed a book!
All that aside, I do still enjoy these books, wailing and alliteration and repetition be darned, but would definitely find them more enjoyable if these glaring incongruities and omissions didn't nag at me while I read. I still have a number of books to read in this series, but I'm thinking I should read other, non-related books between each of these so that the errors don't stand out so starkly!
What an original, creative, terribly entertaining, and suspenseful cozy mystery this is that I put this book in a different category all by itself. The main character being a Mennonite, she is like no other character in any cozy mystery I read previously. I liked the in-depth character development, original subject matter, and eccentric and entertaining characters from different denominations. I could not stop laughing while reading this book.
The very first sentence in this book gives you an idea of the kind of humor you can expect in this book. It reads “I much prefer Hernia to Intercourse.” It’s only if you notice the capitalization, and know something about place names in central Pennsylvania, that make you think about the Amish country around Lancaster PA, rather than some other kinds of thoughts. This kind of zaniness and humor is prevalent throughout this book. Oh, this book is a murder mystery of a sorts and features the sleuthing capabilities of Magdalena Yoder. Magdalena is a Mennonite woman who is getting engaged to a Jewish man and who runs her own inn in the town of Hernia. Being a Mennonite in that area means that she has connections to everyone else within a 30 mile radius and a lot of the humor that creeps up is due to her intimate knowledge of all the people in this community.
Magdalena also has a sharp tongue and she is not afraid to scold people of all kinds when they cross her – which happens often. She is also quite proud of the fact that her main form of exercise is to jump to conclusions. All of these factors combine to make for a fun romp in a book that’s quick to read.
The plot? It really makes almost no sense involving a wealthy investor who decides to open up a five star hotel in the middle of this town that’s in the middle of nowhere. This gets the local community riled up – as could be expected. But then, there are large pythons involved; large gay men; All kinds of church shenanigans; and discussions in a greasy spoon.
By the time you are done laughing and reading this book, all the mysteries are resolved and two murders and one death is cleared up. In my case, I am ready for more!
I haven't read one of Ms. Myers' books in a while, so it was a coming home of sorts for me. I enjoy the mystery of it all, but appreciate the characters even more. I get a good chuckle and pass the time quickly with Mags Yoder and the good citizens of Hernia, PA. I look forward to the next in the series when I need a break from heavy reading.
My wife is a Tamar Myers book collector and I'm very pleased to add these to her collection. She's been looking for the older books and now knows where to look.
I really enjoy Tamar Myers' Pennsylvania Dutch Mysteries, of which this is one. They're always entertaining and humorous. Book was received in good time and in good condition. Thanks.
This 11th book in the Pennsylvania Dutch mysteries by Tamar Myers was worth waiting for. I loved it. Magdalena, the owner of the inn, is in top form, as are all other characters. The humor was on target, the plot fairly simple and suspense worked well when called for. In this book, a guest at the inn named Colonel Custard checks in. He is in Hernia (the town) because he plans to build a five-star hotel and make a tourist haven out of the quaint, Amish-Mennonite community. Suspects abound, as no one wants him to ruin the town like that. Custard recipes look great and are an extra bonus to this highly entertaining book. Magdalena admits she "wails" too much, which helps to validate all the other books that have her "wail"-ing too frequently. One complaint, and that is how she solves this murder. I think it was too far-fetched, even for Magdalena and even if she herself was the one to solve it, there was not enough evidence to convince me to take the suspect seriously. It looked like, when her theory proved true, she just got lucky.
But that tends to be a small thing when being entertained so with another winner from Ms. Myers.
See my review on "Thou shalt not Grill" I felt more and more with each book I read, that these stories irritated me instead of intriguing me with the mystery. Just not my style of humor and it became more trite and I became more tired wading through the same ideas and asides to the reader regarding the main character and her lifestyle and her quest for a man, and the characters dislike for most of the other characters in the story, over and over.
