Description

This set has the first four books in the Jolie Gentil Cozy Mystery Series, set in the fictional Ocean Alley, NJ. Fiction you can share with your mom.

The Jolie Gentil mystery series debuted in October 2011 with Appraisal for Murder. It was followed by Rekindling Motives, When the Carny Comes to Town, and Any Port in a Storm. Jolie is a real estate appraiser in a New Jersey Beach town and 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. As she reconnects with old friend and walks Aunt Madge's prune-eating dogs, Jolie tries to stay one step ahead of murder.

  • Well written plots

    Didn’t’t give 5 stars due to the attitude of the lead character. However, by the 4 th book all of the characters begin to make sense together and the lead character makes more sense.
  • Great storytelling!

    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.
