TAMAR MYERS

Assault and Pepper

A tasty mystery-with a side of killer chili

Includes six chili recipes

Magdalena Yoder and her Mennonite congregation gather for the annual chili cook-off, only to have beloved Reverend Schrock fall face-first into his bowl. For his widow's sake, Magdalena begins to look into the victim's death, soon discovering that Schrock wasn't all that well liked by his flock.

"Aside from having some of the best tongue-in-cheek titles in serial mystery (Play It Again, Spam; The Crepes of Wrath; Thou Shall Not Grill), Myers's Pennsylvania Dutch sequence is -- like her "sturdy Christian underwear"-clad protagonist -- one of the funniest and most endearing mystery sagas around. In a word: delightful."
