An Amish Bed and Breakfast Mystery with Recipes - PennDutch Mysteries #14 Tensions in the Mennonite-Amish community of Hernia, PA are running red. Felicia Baccustelli, a slick city gal, plans to open a wine 'spa' in the cozy little town. Not only are the teetotalers of the local community bubbling over with disapproval, but Magdalena Yoder, owner of the illustrious PennDutch Inn and self-appointed boss of everything, worries it could put her out of business! So when this much-disliked newcomer is found encased in cement, everyone's a suspect, especially Magdalena. And now that former police chief, Melvin Stolzfus, is in jail himself, a newly appointed police chief takes charge of the case. But he doesn't seem to understand the subtle nuances of life in Hernia and the town soon turns on him. If Magdalena doesn't find the killer herself, she may end up in jail with her nemesis, Melvin Stolzfus...or worse! "Bubbling over with mirth and mystery." -Dorothy Cannell "A delicious treat." -Carolyn G. Hart

Autor

Tamar Myers was born and raised in the Belgian Congo (now just the Congo). Her parents were missionaries to a tribe, which, at that time, were known as headhunters and used human skulls for drinking cups. Because of her pale blue eyes, Tamar's nickname was Ugly Eyes. Her boarding school was two days away by truck, and sometimes it was necessary to wade through crocodile infested-waters to reach it. Other dangers she encountered as a child were cobras, deadly green mambas, and the voracious armies of driver ants that ate every animal (and human) that didn't get out of their way. At sixteen, Tamar's family settled in America, and she immediately underwent culture shock: she didn't know how to dial a telephone, cross a street at a stoplight, or use a vending machine. She lucked out, however, by meeting her husband, Jeffrey, on her first day at an American high school. They literally bumped heads while he was leaving, and she entering, the Civics classroom. In college Tamar began to submit novels for publication, but it took twenty-three years for her to get published. Persistence paid off, however, because Tamar is now the author of three ongoing mystery series: One is set in Amish Pennsylvania and features Magdalena Yoder, an Amish-Mennonite sleuth who runs a bed and breakfast inn; one, set in the Carolinas, centers around the adventures of Abigail Timberlake, who runs an antique and collectable store (the Den of Antiquity); and the third is set in the Africa of her youth, with its colorful, unique inhabitants. Tamar now calls North Carolina home. She lives with her husband, a Basenji dog named Pagan, two rescue kitties: a very large Bengal named Nkashama, and an orange tabby cat who goes by the name of Dumpster Boy. Tamar enjoys gardening (she is a Master Gardner), bonsai, travel, painting and, of course, reading. She's currently working on her next Amish mystery. tamarmyers.com
