Official synopsis Publisher
Murder is on the menu at Magdalena Yoder’s dinner party when a guest dies after devouring a chicken samosa.
Octogenarian Mennonite widow Magdalena Yoder Rosen has sold the PennDutch Inn and moved into a luxury cottage in Heaven’s Gate, a genteel retirement community close to Hernia, with her old friend, Agnes.
Mags is keen to settle into her new surroundings, but when she beats undefeated Scrabble champion Marion Simpson, she quickly creates enemies–and chaos! Surely hosting a scrumptious dinner party will help Mags curry favor with her neighbors?
Unfortunately Mags’ plan backfires when Marion is poisoned by the chicken samosa starter with its delicious dipping sauce, drawing Mags into another murder investigation. Can the newly crowned Scrabble queen outwit a fowl killer?
This wickedly amusing culinary mystery series featuring an array of outrageously eccentric characters is perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke and Dianne Mott Davidson.
