Invinsible

In Lorena McCourtney's Invisible, the first installment in the Ivy Malone mystery series, this enchanted debut will leave you in stitches and keep you in suspense. It all started for Ivy, when she overheard voices at the local cemetery with her best friend Thea. Although the local police couldn't do anything but call it vandalism, Ivy didn't believe so. This feisty senior citizen knew something was up. But then her Thea turned ill and later died. While she dealt with the grief, she talks to their neighbor Kendra Alexander and became a bit suspicious of her and her activities. When she later disappears, she had every reason to be concerned about her too. That's when she mentioned her to Detective Matt Dixon at the police and have him on her side to look into things. The more she dug, the closer she'd gotten closer to the truth to find out who she really was and what was going on. And that had put her in a line of danger with death threats and being shot at. While she put everything together, she sometimes she wished she was invisible from a glaring and threatening obstacle in her way to resume a normal life in the end.

This was a charming mystery debut that features Ivy as a memorable senior citizen for her character.  I did became concerned for her when Thea died and when "Kendra" disappeared mysteriously. I did find Dix a hoot and how Magnolia tried to play matchmaker with her. She might be a busy little old lady, but she tied everything together to the vandalized cemetery and some crooked business. I did like the dual settings of Arkansas and Missouri for the locations for the story and how the scenes came alive on every page. The theme is to be careful for what you wish for and who you trust in the end when looks sometimes can be deceiving.

If you like a great mystery that has tons of suspense, a scoop of humor, lots of intrigue, and plenty of non-stop dramatic action, check out Invisible today.
