Butter Safe Than Sorry (Pennsylvania Dutch Mystery Series #18) Book

I had always enjoyed this irreverant murder mystery series with recipes. Magdalena Yoder is a Mennonite innkeeper who charges high rates and caters to the famous and wealthy, who desire to experience the plain no frills Amish lifestyle. Her usual cast of characters were quirky and oddball and for some reason most of them have been removed from the series and the remaining cast are somehow lacking. This book leaves a lot to be desired and if this is the first one for anyone to have read, then you will not read another. Very little plot and is hard to keep focused on the boring characters. The epilogue jumps to the future and makes me believes this is her last book in this series and is probably a relief for readers. Even the usual recipes are not appealing.
