An Amish Bed and Breakfast Mystery with Recipes - PennDutch Mysteries #7 Life has been tough of late for the proprietress of the PennDutch Inn, Magdalena Yoder. Her husband turned out to be a bigamist, the guest list for her recently rebuilt PennDutch Inn is not as robust as she'd like, and her sister plans to marry her arch nemesis. So Magdalena Yoder is not in a good mood and she's more than happy to let everyone in town know exactly how she feels. Fortunately, a group of World War II veterans once stationed in Africa have come to town. Ostensibly at the inn for a reunion with their fellow troop members, in reality the veterans are looking for "the Butcher of Tunis," a Nazi rumored to have escaped to the U.S. hiding out as an Amish man. Also staying at the Inn are a world-famous pianist and her academic husband, who has a mission of his own... But when a dead body turns up under suspicious circumstances, Magdalena becomes the primary suspect. And another disappearance leads Magdalena to think the murderer is finally moving the pieces of a carefully orchestrated vendetta. If Magdalena doesn't find the true murderer soon, she could lose her Inn, her good name, and so much more... "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
