After rekindling friendships, Jolie has gotten readjusted to life in Ocean Alley and manages to balance appraising real estate with chairing the Harvest for All Food Pantry. What she can’t quite do is mind her own business.

This boxed set puts together books five through seven of the Jolie Gentil Cozy Mystery Series.They are Trouble on the Doorstep, Behind the Walls (finalist for 2014 Chanticleer Mystery and Mayhem Awards), and Vague Images.

Join Jolie and friends as they figure out if two deaths relate to contracts for Hurricane Sandy repairs, determine who is willing to kill for a stash of jewels behind the walls of the house Jolie just bought, and find out who killed the hospital budget cutter.

And the food pantry? The fundraisers have a worthy purpose, but it’s the laughs you’ll remember.

Review: I really enjoy the Jolie Gentil mysteries. They’re well written, in an interesting setting, have engaging characters, and good story lines. The stories stand independently, but the characters and their relationships do evolve.
