First book about Ivy Malone, a widow, on Medicare, fixed income, but with a big curiosity. This curiosity gets her into trouble as she tries to find out who is vandalizing a local cemetery and who killed her neighbor?s young, friendly but secretive, renter. A fun read even if it is unbelieveable.

This was okay especially as it was a free book but I could have done without the Christian aspects which may have put me off reading any more in the series. ( )

I'd gotten the book a while ago, and it took me a while to figure where to place this genre-wise. It is slow to get started, but gets better as the book goes on. Quite enjoyable in the end. Quite heavy on the Christianity front. ( )
