Have been reading her books for several years. Started with the Den of Antiquity series. Have been reading Penn Dutch series for a while and have found them to be more and more boring and predictable. Have decided this is the last book from this author in this series I will read.

The way the book ended sounds like the end of the series which is good since this book was not as good as previous books.

First off, let me say that I have read all the other Pennsylvania Dutch Mystery books and have really enjoyed them. This one though is not worth reading. It's like the author just gave up and decided to write something to fulfill her contract. It's boring and makes no sense whatsoever.

This book is a real stinker. Not sure if I can finish. I normally love thus series. I sure won't pay nine or the fifteen Tamar is asking for the next coupke if books if she is running out of ideas. I am gkad she had a child (Magdakena) but that sure is one annoying know it all kid. I am glad Allison is off to college. Don't try to hard dear. I believe you can get your mojo back.

To get new through systems have not only dried up but are now poor "slap stick" in their attempt to be funny are just in poor taste and offensive. Private kitchen health standards are not the same for an inn kitchen food prep etc had to meet health standards

Magdalena Yoder Rosen is an original in her Amish town where most of the people try to blend in. She is married to a Jewish doctor, is a conservative Mennonite, and owns the Penn-Dutch Inn where the rich and famous stay. Besides being loudmouthed, her sister Susannah is doing twenty years as an accessory to murder and her brother-in-law Melvin the former police chief is a killer on the run.
Magdalena Yoder is in the bank with her four year old son Jacob when three Amish men burst inside to rob the place. One of the thieves uses employee Amy Neubruder as a hostage as they flee the crime scene. Magdalena Yoder wonders why the security guards did nothing while also hearing the bank president telling Amy to keep silent about the robbery and he will give her a raise and a new position. Not long afterward, Amy is killed and Magdalena Yoder's sister asks her to come see her. Susannah warns Magdalena Yoder to watch herself as Melvin is in the area and loathes her and anyone she cares about. Magdalena Yoder believes Melvin, murder and robbery go together and fearing for her observant son, she investigates.
Tamar Myers weaves her usual magic with her latest Pennsylvania Dutch amateur sleuth (see Batter Off Dead) as local trouble is escalating. There are many suspects in this enjoyable cozy leading to the heroine struggling with figuring out who is protecting Melvin as she is positive he is behind everything. Butter Safe Than Sorry relies on its strong Amish cast who makes the whodunit work.
