The Unexpected Resolution opens with a surprise guest at Jolie and Scoobie’s wedding, and an unidentified body in the Ocean Alley Hospital emergency room. 

The Twain Does Meet is a novella that relays the story of Jolie and Scoobie becoming parents. While there is lots to discover, it’s not a traditional cozy mystery. It didn’t seem right to combine such a joyous even with a corpse. In fact, it’s called it a Jolie and Scoobie novella.

The series moves ahead three years with Underground in Ocean Alley. As a mom of toddlers, Jolie Gentil has sworn off butting into other people’s business. To those who know her, it sounds as far-fetched as finding used bubble gum on Mars. Nothing could drag Jolie into solving crimes. And then a request for help comes from the most unlikely source…

Then Scoobie’s long-absent father shows up in the local hospital…Orr successfully delivers a quiet story about unexpected life events and the honest love that binds no matter what.
