Overall, this was an interesting read as Pennsylvania's favorite Mennonite busybody gets back to business. The mystery itself is strong with subtle read herrings and the interaction between the characters is absurd in a madcap, "I Love Lucy" way. My only real objection was the fact that the author made such an issue out of mocking her own writing style/ characters' conversation styles that it detracted from the story and made portions of the book sound stilted. Still, this is a very worthwhile read for cozy fans.
