About

Super senior sleuth Ivy Malone is spunkier than Miss Marple, with a curiosity that just won't quit. That inquisitiveness has gotten her into plenty of trouble, including murder, mayhem, and a place on a mini-Mafia hit list.

Now Ivy's headed across the country with a stray cat and God as her only companions. But just when she thinks she's safe, two dead bodies turn up-discovered by Ivy, of course. A flock of emus, a survivalist outpost, and paintball are just a few of the strange things Ivy has to deal with in order to solve this latest crime. But will anyone believe the truth?

On the Run, the third book in the Ivy Malone mysteries, is a mix of great fun and great suspense. Readers will love Ivy's latest lively adventure.

"Mystery readers will quickly become devoted fans of the Ivy Malone series. Lorena McCourtney writes an action-packed, humorously quirky mystery that readers will have a hard time putting down."--Sherry Myers, Christian Library Journal

"If you are not familiar with the Ivy Malone Mystery series I suggest you pick up a copy today. On the Run combines the best elements of quirky humor, mystery, and subtle comments about faith."--Joe Montegue, 1340mag.com

"This is a very good book. It is a very entertaining book. There's a bit of drama, mystery, comedy, action, inspiration. There is no doubt in my mind, I would have absolutely no hesitation, the next time a friend asks for a recommendation for a good book to read, I could tell them On the Run."--Wendall Saxton, Roundthetablereviews.com

"A refreshing mystery with very interesting characters. This was my first Ivy Malone mystery. I must admit my interest was peaked with this book to read the first two. I look forward to seeing what other trouble Ivy, Koop, and Abilene can get into."--The Road to Romance

"McCourtney has penned another action-packed, character-driven mystery readers will enjoy immensely from start to finish. Her easy-going, life-loving lead character, coupled with a diverse and 'out-in-left-field' cast, make for an engaging read."--Hope to Home

"The heroine is delightful--prone to aches and other maladies of aging, but strong enough to chase the bad guys. On the Run is chock full of dry wit and wisdom, and enough mystery to keep the reader guessing until Ivy and Abilene figure it out. Recommended."--I Love Mystery

"On the Run is delightful, suspenseful, well-written and clever--petty much anything I could ask for in a book. I recommend this great read to Lillian Jackson Braun fans who will love Koop the quirky cat. Mrs. Pollifax fans will enjoy Ivy's choice of weapons. I could go on and on. Bottom line: if you like quirk and mystery and three dimensional characters, you'll have a blast On the Run."--Novel Reviews
