2nd in the Pennsylvania-Dutch Murder Mystery series. Some of the other reviewers on this site didn't like it but I stand behind it's a fun fluffy mystery to read. This one has the Penn Dutch Inn being invaded by a Hollywood film crew. Magdellena starts off with a cameo role in the film being made. However when one of the crew is killed in her barn. Numerous twists and turns in this one. The notorious six seater believe it or not plays an important part in this book. (

This is the first book I have read by Tamar Myers and I was a bit skeptical about reading it. I for one and glad I did. The book has humor and mystery rolled into one. It also gave me a bit of an idea how amish and Mennonites get along and their background. Very interesting and I look for to the rest of her series. (

Murder was bad enough the first time, but when the PennDutch Inn is descended upon by a Hollywood film crew with mob connections and everyone catches the acting bug, Magdalena has her hands full. According to the sheriff, full of the pitchfork used to stab the assistant director... Will she be able to prove her own innocence before he manages to prove otherwise?

A bit overly cute, but I can't wait to try a couple of the recipes. (

My rating of the book, F- [worst] to A [best]: B

Description of the book: In the second book of the PennDutch Inn series, we follow Magdalena Yoder on another mystery adventure. Magdalena is approached by a Hollywood film company who would like to use the Inn to shoot a movie. When one of the movie crew gets skewered by a pitchfork and the local authorities think Magdalena did it she must find out who the real killer is.
Review: If you like fluffy mysteries and biting humor you will enjoy this series. Don't be misled though, the character of Magdalena that Myers creates would make most Mennonites and Amish blush. (

Okay book, not one of my favorites. An owner of a bed and breafest finds more than breakfest when a movie crew decides to film there on location. (

Epigraph

Dedication

For my parents, with love and respect

First words

I should have known there would be trouble when a man who introduced himself as Bugsy showed up one morning and offered to buy the PennDutch Inn.

Quotations

I was too mature to fight back. Susannah would just have to wait and find her bed short-sheeted.
