In Custard's Last Stand: A Pennsylvania Dutch Mystery with Recipes, the 11th culinary cozy by Tamar Myers (after 2002's Gruel and Unusual Punishment), the murder of Col. George Custard puts an end to the tycoon's plans to build a fancy hotel in Hernia, Penn. In between recipes (mostly for custard), witty, eccentric Magdalena Yoder, the Mennonite proprietor of the PennDutch Inn, pulls together clues to the killer's identity. (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Library Journal Review
Fans of this popular series will certainly be pleased with Magdalena Yoder's most recent adventure. This time out, the Hermia (PA) inn-owner and sleuth tackles a murder in her own establishment: someone has killed wealthy entrepreneur Col. George Custard, who planned to build a five-star hotel in the Amish-Mennonite community. Despite her brash attitude, Jewish boyfriend, 12-year-old foster daughter, caustic but funny remarks, and overall in-your-face technique, Magdalena manages to succeed. Broad, sometimes self-deprecating humor, nonstop action, off-the-wall incidents, and idiosyncratic characters result in clever entertainment for all collections. (c) Copyright 2010.
