Puddin' on the Blitz

By Tamar Myers

The success of Magdalena Yoder's new Amish-Asian restaurant is threatened by murder in the deliciously quirky new Pennsylvania-Dutch mystery.

Although the culinary fare at Magdalena Yoder's new restaurant, Asian Sensations - a unique combination of Asian and Amish cuisine - is not to everyone's taste, the good citizens of Hernia are unanimously agreed that the desserts concocted by the restaurant chef, Barbara Hostetler, are to die for.

Not literally however. When a guest at the PennDutch Inn drops dead shortly after consuming a slice of Barbara's delicious Blitz torte, Magdalena finds herself arrested for murder. Did someone deliberately set her up? In order to clear her name and protect her nearest and dearest, Magdalena must identify a ruthless killer - before they strike again.

Reviews for Puddin' on the Blitz

[maydacat_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

At the beginning of this tale, Magdalena again finds a body in her inn and is arrested for murder. At the end, she solves the case. The many pages in between are filled with Magdalena's puns, colloquialisms, and pithy comments, but not much else. Plot is so lost in the vast amount of jumbled dialogue, that readers will likely flip back pages, thinking they must have turned two pages and missed something. No, the story is just not cohesive. While I liked the earlier books in the series, the last few have left me wishing for a return to Myers’ former style.
