The Hand That Rocks the Ladle: A Pennsylvania Dutch Mystery With Recipes

Summary: Magdalena rocks!
Review: This time our favorite sleuth, Magdalena, is snooping in a different kind of mystery. Was there a third baby? If so, where did it go? What's going on over at the gorgeous doctor's house? And who is that mysterious celebrity hiding out in Room 6? Myers's writing is so effortlessly funny, I found myself laughing out loud more than once. I must say, in the genre of comic mysteries, Magdalena takes the cake! (And the pie -- Freni's Butterscotch Chiffon Pie, recipe on page 37.) The Pennsylvania-Dutch references give it a real sense of place. I believe the Penn-Dutch series began with "Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth," but you don't have to read the previous books to enjoy this one.

Summary: I must agree with others...
Review: while the story is a fun read, the word "wailed" is used way to much. In fact every time she answers someone she "wails". If I had to be around someone that wailed all the time it would get old fast. Please use another word. I like the stories....
