Summary

An Amish Bed and Breakfast Mystery with Recipes – PennDutch Mysteries #14
Tensions in the Mennonite-Amish community of Hernia, PA are running red. Felicia Baccustelli, a slick city gal, plans to open a wine 'spa' in the cozy little town. Not only are the teetotalers of the local community bubbling over with disapproval, but Magdalena Yoder, owner of the illustrious PennDutch Inn and self-appointed boss of everything, worries it could put her out of business!
So when this much-disliked newcomer is found encased in cement, everyone's a suspect, especially Magdalena. And now that former police chief, Melvin Stolzfus, is in jail himself, a newly appointed police chief takes charge of the case. But he doesn't seem to understand the subtle nuances of life in Hernia and the town soon turns on him. If Magdalena doesn't find the killer herself, she may end up in jail with her nemesis, Melvin Stolzfus…or worse!

    Due to a temporary peace agreement between the Brotherhood and Corsican, Maxwell and Boris leave with the French and embark on an adventure that proves to be deadly, life-changing, and brutally hilarious. This book should be read after Dirty Cravings (book six of the Lion and Mouse series). While it does feature sexually explicit scenes, it is not a romance. Content Warning: There is a flashback that may be psychologically triggering to those that have experienced sexual abuse. This moment is not used to entertain but to provide insight into the traumatic bond that Maxwell and Emily have with each other.
