Operation Bonnet
By Kimberly Stuart
David C. Cook Publisher
Nellie Monroe is young and full of curiosity and imagination….so what else can she do but begin a career as a private investigator? Until Nellie figures out how to find a client to jump-start her career, she is working with a couple of odd characters in a golf shop and taking care of her Nona who tends to forget who she is some days.
Nellie finds her case, and begins to go “undercover” to an Amish community where she hopes to find information. Since she wants to blend-in, she finds a long skirt, and an old prairie bonnet which she plops over her “unfortunate hair” and walks up to the farmhouse asking for cooking lessons.
Meanwhile, a childhood friend is beginning to act strangely. He acts different now, and has trouble talking to her which for some strange reason upsets Nellie. Add to that, her parents finally come back from one of their trips and want to move Nona to a home. Nellie is scrambling to put all this together.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Although this story has some serious moments, it is mainly just a fun read. The author has given the characters so much personality and wit in the dialogue that I often found myself laughing out loud. I will definitely look for more from Kimberly Stuart.
