“Never miss out on an opportunity to kick a dead horse; it is, after all, a form of exercise.”

I never expected a cozy mystery to nail “stubborn Pennsylvania Dutch lady” so succinctly.

Kirkus Reviews gave this a starred review. I was disappointed. First in the mystery series featuring Magdalena Yoder, it's dubbed a Pennsylvania Dutch mystery. Some of my ancestors were PA Dutch, so I thought this would be fun. I really didn't like Yoder; she was so judgmental. I'm surprised she wasn't a victim, honestly. Her sister wasn't much better - very flighty and very childish, despite being well into adulthood.

Too many dud reads lately!

DivineDiana I was in Pennsylvania Dutch country last week and was thinking that it would be fun to read a book from this genre. Thanks for telling me to avoid this one! 8y
Librarybelle I had high expectations for this one, @DivineDiana . I feel let down...still trying to figure out how it received a starred review. I missed something! 8y
