The pretzel salad is one of my faves! Max may be from a big Irish family but the girl knows how to celebrate Oktoberfest even if she has to catch a killer first. I absolutely loved that every recipe included in the back of the book and mentioned in the story are for foods that graced out table growing up and many still do today. Living in Wisconsin we have our share of German descendants, including me. Some come from the past, things Max had no idea about, and those involved hesitate to let her in on the whole story. There are several twists to untangle as connections are discovered among many of the suspects. Especially when Jake’s ex comes to town, we see he only has eyes for Max no matter how hard Victoria tries to drag him away. They are both strong and independent and devoted to each other. Max can’t help herself from doing some investigating on her own. But when one of the group is murdered and her friend Candy is hiding something. Readers arrive in town just as the Allegheny Brew House is getting ready for Oktoberfest complete with an “oompah” band. I get so excited every time Joyce Tremel releases a new book!
