Beg, Borrow or Steal

Mysteries Of Lancaster County #13

by Anne Marie Rodgers

Elizabeth Classen’s curiosity is aroused when she notices an unfamiliar teenage girl hiding pieces of fruit in her pockets from the refreshment table during the church's social hour. No one seems to know the girl, few other people observed her, and when Elizabeth tries to speak with her, the girl bolts. Who is the fruit thief? Why is she sneaking food? And how can Elizabeth help her?

At home, the sisters find evidence that a thief of a different sort has been sneaking into their ramshackle henhouse. This discovery prompts them to undertake a project that quickly becomes more challenging than they'd anticipated. Meanwhile, middle sister Martha is tapped at the last minute to oversee a library book sale when the chair-person takes ill; and youngest sister, Mary, tries to do a good deed as a foster parent to a rescue dog, which brings a whole doggie bag full of troublesome tricks along with it..

Another good heart warming read about the Classen sisters and their Amish neighbors. This book is about finding a girl who seems to need help, but they do not know her name so have trouble finding her. Of course, in the end the do find the girl and her family and know how to help them out. Very mild, entertaining read.

This takes place around Easter in March/April. The story is about a family that needs help. There are goats, chickens, and a puppy too. The mystery was okay. I preferred the farm and animal parts of the story.

My purpose for reading this was to read it to my mother who is blind. It is snook about 3 middle aged sisters that run a business together in a small close-knit town. My mom really liked the book
