"Magdalena Yoder, the owner of the Penn-Dutch Inn is finally getting married. Not only is she busy planning her wedding, and dealing with her future husband's relatives who are staying at the Inn, but her future father-in-law gives her a barrel of sauerkraut as a wedding gift, which contains the remains of Aaron (the groom's) cousin who has been missing for 20 years. Magdalena doesn't want anything to spoil her wedding and tries to find the killer before the day of her wedding.
As always, Myers fills the book with quirky characters, many of whom are suspects. Her books are laugh out loud funny, in fact, I'm still laughing over the last two pages!"
"This is the 4th book in the series. I've actually surprised myself by reading this many and even more surprising is that I plan to continue. Magdalena seems such a prickly, ill-tempered and cold person - and yet, there's a strength and even an odd sort of goodness that compels me to want to read more.
In this novel, we meet her fiance Aaron's aunties who are also referred to as the "Beeftrust". We assume it is due to their size given Magdalena's description of them, but later find out there is another reason. All auntie's having quite different personalities, I found myself reacting to each one much the same way as Magdalena did. (So what does that say about me? Prickly, ill-tempered, and cold?)
The mystery was good - less formulaic than the previous three in the series. The humor was outrageous. Twice I got an extremely long case of the giggles and as a matter of fact laughed until the tears ran down my face. This is where there is room for an interesting debate: how funny would Magdalena saying, "Well, I never!" in response to one of Aaron's newly introduced aunties have been, had I not had the context of the previous 3 books? It's hard to say . . .
However, I do know that I am enjoying the series the deeper I get into it. And goodness sakes, other readers must be too. There are umpteen more books to go in this rather unusual series, and I plan to read at least a couple more."
"Wasn't as good as the first one I read by this author but was also funny. The characters in the book are described really well, both physically and their mannerisms."
"I finished this last night. It was a good book. Strange but kept my interest. It is about Pennsylvania Dutch people. There are receipes throughout the book, although I did not find any that were interesting enough to copy. It was a mystery and I had no idea who dun it. It was a fast read and something I didn't really have to think about. Right now it seems to be the only kind of book that appeals to me. I don't want to have to think about what I'm reading or try to figure out what the author is trying to say. It was worth the time."
