Catherine_Dilts | Feb 25, 2022 |   When lodger Aggie Pennington-Brown goes missing the same day the bank is robbed the seniors concerned. Concerned to the point that they have no faith in the Sheriff Turner's ability to find Miss Aggie so they start their own investigation. Being pretty much lifetime residents, they also have knowledge of the other citizens in town and their secrets. Is the kidnapper one of them? Corky, the young man Victoria hired to handle the cooking for the residents, is a mystery in himself. His excellence in the kitchen is Cordon Bleu yet he chooses to work for her. Why? Add a dash of romance in Ben Grant, the newspaper guy. He and Victoria grew up together but didn't have the best of relationships. What secrets could be found there? This is a Christian cozy so there are comments and scenes about faith, but it isn't hammered in. It is just part of the characters' personalities. A fun, cozy read that is entertaining and fairly quick. (  ) ChazziFrazz | Jun 23, 2016 |  ) bgknighton | Mar 15, 2016 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

At 10:29 a.m., on a cold day in January, the Cedar Chapel Bank was robbed. At 5:41 that same afternoon, Aggie Pennington-Brown was declared missing. Victoria Storm, new owner of Cedar Lodge Boardinghouse, and her elderly boarders reluctantly agree with Sheriff Turner's conclusion - Miss Aggie's been kidnapped by the robbers. But when secrets and long-lost loves begin to surface from their missing friend's past, a horrible possibility arises. Could someone they know and love have harmed Miss Aggie? As Victoria and her elderly friends attempt to solve the mystery and locate Miss Aggie, more secrets are revealed until Victoria begins to wonder if there is anyone she can trust - including, or perhaps especially, the dashing local reporter, Ben Grant.

Miss Aggie Pennington vanishes at the same time that bank robbers strike a small southern Missouri community. The senior citizen’s history as the spoiled daughter of a once mighty local family is revealed bit by bit as her friends search for her.
The amateur sleuth telling the Miss Aggie stories is Victoria, young and as yet unmarried, although I suspect this will change before the end of the series. Victoria inherited Cedar Lodge, her grandmother’s boardinghouse, along with the resident senior citizens. She struggles with living out her faith, and has enough flaws to keep her interesting. The author Frances Devine does a good job of telling the stories of the seniors without reducing them to stereotypes.
I have read two Miss Aggie mysteries, and enjoyed them both. If you are looking for a fun read that will not embarrass you with foul language or steamy bedroom scenes, you have found the right author. The Miss Aggie series is Christian fiction that is not preachy. The prayers and Scripture quotes are a natural part of the characters’ lives.
