Abstract
After novelist Ramat Sreym “falls face-down dead,” Magdalena Yoder aids the inept police chief in solving the murder. “[T]here is no shortage of suspects,” says the book’s jacket, as “the author had made many enemies” through a book “exposing the faults and foibles” of the local Amish-Mennonite community. Set in fictitious Hernia, Somerset County.
Author Biography
Tamar Myers (1948— ), born and raised by Mennonite missionary parents in the Belgian Congo, arrived in the United States at age 16. As a college student she began to submit novel manuscripts for publication; 23 years later Too Many Crooks, her first, was published by Doubleday. Her other mystery series takes place in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she now lives with her husband and pets. “She and her husband are of the Jewish faith,” says the HarperCollins author web page, “the animals are not.”
