The Silver Rose Dating Agency by Angelena Boden- Women sleuths/Cozy mystery  

(First published as “ Love Bytes Back- Edna Reid Investigates”)

 Hope Valley in Derbyshire is a pretty area frequented by visitors for

most of the year. The residents are used to this and make the most of

it with cafes and suchlike. Lonely widow Kitty joins the Silver Rose

dating agency to find companionship and hopefully love and finds

Harvey. Her friend Edna, the former cafe owner is rather more

sceptical and has read about internet scams and takes it upon herself

to find out more- as Harvey is now taking more and more money

from Kitty who refuses to believe that he isn't genuine. Meanwhile

there are some strange goings on- satanic type graffiti by the church

and hoodies with pentagrams on. This is the second in a series

(the first book-Edna’s death cafe was a brilliant read) but will

happily stand alone. A read to make you smile and to enjoy

life whilst taking care out there- even in real life not

everything is at it first appears.

A mystery, a little romance, a message and a smile.

The Silver Rose Dating Agency When lonely widow Kitty Merriweather moves to Derbyshire’s Hope Valley, she joins the Silver Rose online dating site because it offers a safe place for the over sixties to find romance. There, she meets the enigmatic Harvey, a scientist working on a conservation project in Bali who promises her “hot days and stormy nights.” Love blooms quickly but Kitty breaks all the rules laid down by the agency, putting herself at risk. When little things don’t add up she dismisses them as being unimportant. Nothing matters more than her plans for them to live happily ever after. When she confides in her new friend, Edna Reid, octogenarian and former café owner, Kitty gets angry at Edna’s implication she is likely the victim of a scam. The more Edna hears about Harvey, the more she is convinced he’s only interested in Kitty for her money. Using her knowledge of computers Edna finally uncovers the truth, but where does black magic and murder fit into this intriguing cosy mystery?
