About

She's not your average crime fighter!

Ivy Malone has a curiosity that sometimes gets her into trouble, and it's only aggravated by her discovery that she can easily escape the public eye. So when vandals romp through the local cemetery, she takes advantage of her newfound anonymity and its unforeseen advantages as she launches her own unofficial investigation.

Despite her oddball humor and unconventional snooping, Ivy soon becomes discouraged by her failure to turn up any solid clues. And after Ivy witnesses something ominous and unexplained, she can't resist putting her investigative powers to work again. Even the authorities' attempts to keep Ivy out of danger and her nosy neighbor's match-making schemes can't slow her down. But will the determination that fuels this persistent, quirky sleuth threaten her very safety?

Reviews

"Ivy Malone's cat-like curiosity kicks in when her dear neighbor's lovely renter is murdered. Over 70, Ivy has learned the advantages of being an invisible 'little old lady.' Not content with her more or less unobtrusive sleuthing into a murder case, Ivy is also determined to catch the vandals ruining a local private graveyard.
"The feisty widow initiates her own midnight stakeouts with wild results. Ivy is thrown off her stride by two unexpected suitors, but not for long. And she doesn't mind doing a little matchmaking of her own while she's hot on the trail of murderers and vandals.
"McCourtney's irresistible, understated humor shines through Ivy Malone, a less stuffy version of Miss Marple from this side of the pond. The reader is drawn from page to page toward an unexpected ending. A whet-your-appetite debut for a promising series."-Romantic Times
