Summary: HOLLYWOOD COMES TO THE MENNONITES? ....
Review: Talk about an oxy-moron... Hollywood-Mennonites... How unreal can you get? Our resourceful Magdelina is under attack from horrendus movie star wanna-be "do I know you?" friends; not to mention the goofy director and cast. As the plot thickens, so do the receipes (GREAT) and Magdelina finds herself the star (of what? ) and whether or not she wants to be..Hilarious!

Summary: parsley,sage,rosemary&crime
Review: there seems to be a lack of continuity from "parsley, sage, rosemary and crime", and "no use dying over spilled milk".
in "parsley, sage, rosemary and crime", aaron miller jr. joined the army and went to vietnam (page 201, paperback). in "no use dying over spilled milk",aaron left to escape the draft(page 20, paperback).irregardless of this error, the books (all) are throughly enjoyable. the books are very enjoyable, and full of information
about Mennonite and Amish traditions, and very funny. thanks for the opportunity to speak,

Summary: Magdelena is Very Funny!
Review: These books are worth reading for Magdelena. The books are told in the first person directly from her mind and mouth, and she is uproariously funny! The mystery in this book is not very difficult, but the trip that the reader takes to get there is such fun. In this book, the Penn-Dutch inn is taken over by a Hollywood crew for filming a movie. Even Magdelena gets involved as an actress in this one. But before they get much footage shot, a body shows up in the barn. Magdelena has to set out to find the killer (mostly because she's "suspecto numero uno", according to the less than brightest light that represents the law in Hernia.) It's great fun to read these books and to follow Magdelena through her life and acquaintances.

Summary: I loved this book!
Review: When a Hollywood production company approaches the prim-and-proper Mennonite innkeeper, Magdalena Yoder, about using her inn as the setting for a movie, the amount negotiated soon wins her over. But, when she finds herself literally flooded with up-tight and immoral Hollywood types, and star struck neighbors, she quickly realizes she has made a mistake. Worse, when the assistant director is found murdered in her barn, with her pitchfork, Magdalena quickly becomes the number one suspect. There's only thing that she can do to protect herself and her inn, and that is to find the murderer, and quick! A friend tipped me off to the existence of Mennonite mystery writer Tamar Myers, and I quickly got this book (even though it is the second Magdalena Yoder book). I must admit that I was not disappointed! The characters are funny and interesting, and I really enjoyed the setting. Ms. Myers captures the Mennonite/Amish way of thinking beautifully ("I am proud of who I am, but not so proud, mind you, that it's a sin."), but who knew that Mennonites could be so funny? I loved this book, and highly recommend it to you!
