Fowl Play - (Pennsylvania-Dutch Mystery) by Tamar Myers (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Magdalena hosts a dinner party where the starter is to die for--and one guest does.

Octogenarian Mennonite widow Magdalena Yoder Rosen has sold the PennDutch Inn and moved into a luxury cottage in Heaven's Gate, a Christian retirement community close to Hernia--with her old friend, Agnes, and Great-Granny Yoder's ghost.

Mags is keen to settle into her new surroundings, but when she beats the community's undefeated Scrabble champion Marion Simpson, she quickly creates enemies--and chaos! Surely hosting a dinner party will reconcile Mags to her new neighbors?

Unfortunately Mags' plan backfires when Marion is poisoned by the chicken samosa starter with dipping sauce, drawing Mags into another murder investigation. Can the newly crowned Scrabble queen outwit a fowl killer?

This hilarious culinary cozy mystery series featuring an array of delightfully eccentric characters is perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke and Dianne Mott Davidson.
