About This Book

With a winning blend of humor, mystery, and recipes, national bestselling author Tamar Myers has created a uniquely flavorful series. This time Mennonite innkeeper Magdalena Yoder, now eight months pregnant, gets caught up in a case of hotcake homicide....

During the annual church breakfast, Minerva J. Jay slumps over dead after ingesting stacks and stacks of pancakes. Police Chief Ackerman wonders whether the serving of the fatal flapjacks is a case of assault and batter, so he turns to Magdalena for help—even though she has her own bun in the oven! Before Magdalena can begin, however, she has to make a special delivery of her own....

But being a new mother doesn't mean Magdalena is going to stop grilling the Beechy Grove Mennonite Church Brotherhood, who cooked the breakfast. To keep the killer from cooking up another crime, Magdalena has no choice but to jump from the frying pan into the fire.
