Enjoy the first four books in the Jolie Gentil Cozy Mystery Series, set in the fictional Ocean Alley, New Jersey. After moving to Aunt Madge’s Cozy Corner B&B, Jolie is a real estate appraiser at the Jersey Shore. Her flexible schedule seems to allow plenty of time for trouble.

With a name that translates to “pretty nice” (thanks to her French Canadian dad), she’s used to teasing, and her embezzler ex-husband taught her more about trouble than she ever expected. But stumbling across dead bodies in the middle of the work day? That’s a new one.

The first four books of the series are Appraisal for Murder, Rekindling Motives, When the Carny Comes to Town, and Any Port in a Storm.

Jolie reconnects with old friend Scoobie and Ramona and manages to tick off local reporter George Winters on a regular basis. She doesn’t know what busy is until she ‘volunteers’ to lead the group that manages the Harvest for All Food Pantry. 

Join Jolie,her friends, her black cat Jazz, and Aunt Madge’s prune-eating retrievers.

ibooks Review: I enjoy how Ms. Orr builds her character’s personalities and and intertwines their lives while she’s building a great mystery. I plan on reading the rest of this series.
