THE JOLIE GENTIL SERIES

Can a real estate appraiser get into this much trouble?  Jolie returns to the New Jersey beach town
where she spent 11th grade, and it's not long before she’s found the body of a former classmate’s
mother, danced with a skeleton, and been talked into running the local food pantry. To think she
moved into Aunt Madge’s B&B to have a quieter life...

Appraisal for Murder

Jolie Gentil dumps a husband who spent through their assets and moves to Aunt Madge's B&B on
the Jersey shore.  Soon she's catching up with old friends and solving a murder.  And trying not
to get killed herself.

Rekindling Motives

As she appraises a house, Jolie Gentil finds the skeleton of Richard Tillotson hidden in an antique
attic wardrobe. Between running the food pantry at Christmas time and escaping a burning
building, Jolie and friends hope to figure out who the modern-day killer is before someone else
gets hurt. Available at
Amazon, BN, Smashwords, and itunes.

When the Carny Comes to Town

Jolie does not think t's fun to sit on a plank above the dunk tank at the annual Ocean Alley
Carnival, but it’s for  a good cause. Who knew the food pantry’s fundraiser could leave Scoobie
fighting for his life and a murderer lurking nearby?

Trouble on the Doorstep

Jolie can handle that surely she can deal with a sobbing woman who shows up at midnight

and murder Jolie may be in above her head. The police, best bud Scoobie, & boyfriend George
think so. And maybe the murderer. Available at

New! Trouble on the Doorstep. From Hurricane Sandy
to Cozy Corner B&B repairs to Aunt Madge's wedding in
three weeks. If Jolie can handle that surely she can deal
with a sobbing woman who shows up at midnight
playing a scary message on a cell phone. Pooki is frantic
about her husband's whereabouts and more than a little
ditzy, according to Jolie's best friend, Scoobie. After taking
Pooki to the police station the next morning, Jolie figures
she is problem-free. Not really.
A shady deal for storm repairs at the Ocean Alley Senior
Complex seems to be at the root of Steve Oliver's
hit-and-run death and missing business partner (Pooki's
husband, Eric). When Eric ends up dead at the B&B, Jolie
is digging for clues in between burning muffins and appraising houses. But
when she doesn't share all that she learns with her sometimes-boyfriend,
reporter George Winters, he's grouchy.
Jolie is convinced she needs to find the murderer (or is it murderers?) and
expose fraudulent repair bids. Not everyone shares her views--not the police,
her friend Scoobie, and certainly not the murderer.
