Jolie Gentil continues to solve mysteries and become more involved in the Ocean Alley community. And she’s starting to realize her feelings for an old friend are growing beyond friendship. 

Ground to a Halt. When Jolie Gentil goes to buy a cup of coffee the morning after a storm knocks out power at her house in Ocean Alley, she finds Java Jolt unlocked and minus its owner. A bigger surprise is seeing proprietor Joe Regan a few minutes later, badly injured. It seems a potential killer thinks Jolie has something Joe was hiding. 

Holidays in Ocean Alley. Aunt Madge is spending a few weeks in the Silver Times Senior Living after standing on a stool to hang garland. Her niece Jolie’s good friend Scoobie teams up with her to figure out whose body fell into Madge’s apartment in the wee hours one morning. Can Madge find a way to solve the crime and provide some cheer to injured children? She’s determined to do just that. But she needs to be really careful.

The Unexpected Resolution. Wedding days are special, but they don’t usually pack as big a surprise as Jolie and Scoobie’s New Year’s Eve nuptials. Scoobie never knew much about his family — and after the way he grew up, who could blame him for liking it that way? A 9-1-1 call during the wedding changes everything.
