Too Many Crooks Spoil the Broth — Tamar Myers

RECIPE FOR DEATH

When a new guest takes a fatal fall down the little PennDutch inn's quaintly steep stairs, Miss Magdalena Yoder, the no-nonsense owner, is more worried about a lawsuit than foul play.

Magdalena also has a bushel of other troubles: An arrogant congressman and his wife check in for deer hunting, offending the other guests who are animal-rights activists. Her Amish cook up and quits when vegetarians refuse to eat her hearty Pennsylvania-Dutch cooking. But when a second guest is found stiff, cold, and dead on Magdalena's handmade quilt, she's sure there's a killer somewhere on the premises.
