"Everyone knew that Buzzy was quite fond of playing practical jokes - but is that reason enough for murder? With the police on a perpetual picnic, Magdalena must do the dirty work and dig into the pasts of her other guests at the PennDutch Inn. To her surprise, she discovers they all have less than innocent reasons for attending the celebration and for wanting to get their grubby little mitts on the buried fortune. And now Magdalena has her hands full trying to keep community spirits high, grill the likely suspects - and smoke out the killer."--BOOK JACKET.

About the author

Tamar Myers was born and raised in the Belgian Congo (now just the Congo). Her parents were missionaries. She was sixteen when her family settled in America. In college she began to submit novels for publication, but it took 23 years for her to get published. Persistence paid off, however, because Tamar is now the author of two ongoing mystery series. One is set in Pennsylvania and features Magdalena Yoder, an Amish-Mennonite sleuth who runs a bed and breakfast in the mythical town of Hernia. The other is set in the Carolinas and centers around the adventures of Abigail Timberlake, the proud owner of a Charlotte (and later Charleston) antique store, the Den of Antiquity. Tamar now calls Charlotte, NC home. She lives with her husband, plus a Basenji dog, a Bengal cat, and an orange tabby rescue cat.
