Not everyone thinks this is a good idea, because the new superstructure will destroy the town's quaint and quiet ambience. At a town council meeting several vocal citizens protest Custard's project. Soon after, the colonel is found murdered - shot at the PennDutch Inn. With the police investigation going nowhere Magdelena gets involved. INCLUDES SIX HEAVENLY CUSTARD RECIPES!
