The Ivy Malone Mystery Series

INVISIBLE! Do you ever feel invisible? How about feeling invisible even when you are In Plain Sight, On the Run, or Stranded? Well, that's how dear Mrs. Malone feels in her aging, widowed life - invisible! Is that a bad thing? It may appear so at first - until a few strange things begin happening in her town. Who better to do a little sleuthing around at the cemetery or a junk yard in the middle of the night around dead bodies with the mob chasing after her than an invisible, quiet, sweet, elderly, Christian woman? This self proclaimed LOL (Little Old Lady) has a huge sense of humor at seeing herself in odd situations in the Ivy Malone Mystery Series by Lorena McCourtney!

with a Christian Fiction Touch

I first heard of the Ivy Malone Mystery Series via a free ebook club newsletter. As an official bookworm who loves to read, I'm always looking for new books to explore. As I scanned over the reviews I noticed that the first book, Invisible, contained many of my favorite criteria for choosing a story!

Mystery Book: There is a mystery, a murder mystery, with many unexpected twists and turns to solve the crime! Who would have thought that this gentle lady could get herself in so many situations? The local authorities are hoping she will head home to do some knitting, but that just makes her stick her neck out more! Ivy Malone reminds me highly of two of my favorite detectives, Agatha Christie's Miss Jane Marple, and Mrs. Jessica Fletcher of Murder, She Wrote.

Comedy Book: OK, seriously, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time over the comments and shenanigans of Mrs. Malone. What a hoot! (I accidentally woke up my husband several times because I couldn't stop chuckling!)

Christian Fiction Book: Yes, I am a Christian, and therefore I enjoy reading stories that touch on the lives of fellow believers. There are a few Bible verses and references to prayer and church, although not an overbearing amount as some Christian fiction books have.

Romance Book: Just because she is the widowed grandmotherly type doesn't mean she doesn't shoot a few sparks around some eligible bachelors!

Free Book: You read that right! The first book of the series is available as a free ebook download on Kindle. (Amazon has numerous ebook apps for computer and other electronics that are free to use if you do not have a Kindle.)
