No Use Dying Over Spilled Milk
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
PennDutch Mysteries #3
"Bubbling over with mirth and mystery." ���Dorothy Cannell
"A delicious treat!" ���Carolyn G. Hart
Magdalena Yoder, Amish-Mennonite proprietor of the Pennsylvania Dutch Inn, travels to Farmersburg, Ohio for the funeral of her second cousin (twice removed) who had the unfortunate luck of drowning in a vat of milk...and, as Magdalena knows, Amish men just don't go swimming in milk in the middle of February. Something's definitely rotten in Farmersburg...
When another relative is found belly up, Magdalena puts her (impressive, but attractive nonetheless, thank you very much) nose to the scent and discovers that a vicious cheese rivalry may be the cause of all this mayhem!
In between keeping tabs on her saucy sister, Susannah, avoiding her sardine-loving host and spending time with her new boyfriend, Aaron Miller (a.k.a. Pooky Bear), Magdalena must find the killer...before more Yoders bite the dust!
"Myers' story is as sweet as a piece of brown-sugar pie (recipe included)...Magdalena is so likeable!" ���Booklist

- bioText: Tamar Myers was born and raised in the Belgian Congo (now just the Congo).��Her parents were missionaries to a tribe which, at that time, were known as headhunters and used human skulls for drinking cups. Because of her pale blue eyes, Tamar's nickname was Ugly Eyes.
Her boarding school was two days away by truck, and sometimes it was necessary to wade through crocodile infested-waters to reach it. Other dangers she encountered as a child were cobras, deadly green mambas, and the voracious armies of driver ants that ate every animal (and human) that didn't get out of their way.
At sixteen, Tamar's family settled in America, and she immediately underwent culture shock: she didn't know how to dial a telephone, cross a street at a stoplight, or use a vending machine. She lucked out, however, by meeting her husband, Jeffrey, on her first day at an American high school. They literally bumped heads while he was leaving, and she entering, the Civics classroom.
In college Tamar began to submit novels for publication, but it took twenty-three years for her to get published. Persistence paid off, however, because Tamar is now the author of three ongoing mystery series: One is set in Amish Pennsylvania and features Magdalena Yoder, an Amish-Mennonite sleuth who runs a bed and breakfast inn; one, set in the Carolinas, centers around the adventures of Abigail Timberlake, who runs an antique and collectable store (the Den of Antiquity); and the third is set in the Africa of her youth, with its colorful, unique inhabitants.

Something's definitely rotten in Farmersburg...
When another relative is found belly up, Magdalena puts her (impressive, but attractive nonetheless, thank you very much) nose to the scent and discovers that a vicious cheese rivalry may be the cause of all this mayhem!

April 1, 1996
Magdalena Yoder, Mennonite proprietor of the PennDutch Inn in Hernia, Penn., returns from Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Crime for a third mystery with an Amish twist. Magdalena, her worldly younger sister, Susannah, and Freni Hostetler, cousinly relation and cook at the inn, go to Farmersburg, Ohio, for the funeral of Yost Yoder, who drowned in a vat of milk on his farm. Magdalena meets other relatives who recognize her Yoder nose and large feet; she learns of another recent death in the community, that of Levi Mast in a fall from his silo. Since both farmers had been supplying milk to the Daisybell Dairy, Magdalena's suspicions are raised and she decides to investigate, while trying to avoid the sardine-dominated cooking of her hostess and keeping tabs on the nymphomaniac Susannah. The plot is straightforward, almost transparent, in places, and the Amish characters (some of whom seem more simpleminded than simple) are frequently the butt of heavy-handed humor based on physical characteristics, such as Sheriff Marvin Stolzfus's big ears and Magdalena's own clodhopping feet. Also present in this unsurprising tale are Magdalena's love interest, Aaron Miller (known as Pooky Bear), and a sampling of recipes, e.g., Freni Hostetler's Poor Man's Goulash.

Billed as "a Pennsylvania-Dutch mystery with recipes," Myers' story is as sweet as a piece of brown-sugar pie (recipe, page 144). In fact, the recipes are the best part of the book, since the plot itself is a saccharine meringue of country folk wisdom and Amish lore thinly disguised as a murder mystery. Magdalena Yoder, proprietor of the PennDutch Inn, travels to Ohio when one of her relatives is found floating facedown in a milk tank. Soon after she arrives, a second relative dies in a fall from a silo. Magdalena quickly discovers that a rivalry over who makes the best cheese in the county is at the bottom of the trouble. If the humor tends to be kindergarten-simple, if Magdalena's sister Susannah simpers once too often, and if Myers is heavy on annoying alliterations and light on substance, it's easy enough to forgive because Magdalena is so likable and because the story is just so, well . . . nice.
