About this ebook
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?
"I laughed out loud. McCourtney's charming mystery debuts a voice both enchanting and startling."-Colleen Coble, author of Without a Trace
"McCourtney's skill at blending whimsy, quirks, and questions into a lead character makes Invisible a must read."-Lois Richer, author of Dangerous Sanctuary
"Invisible is a treat! Ivy Malone is a heroine with spunk and determination!"-Carol Cox, author of A Stitch in Time

I loved this book! As the description promised, it held delightful understated humour from the eyes of a spunky elderly lady. It was a mix of exciting intugue, the reality and sorrow of this life, and as I said, delicious dry humor. Perfectly clean! Can't wait to read the next one.

Ivy Malone, Little Old Lady or LOL, was an entertaining read. I do get tired of phrases like " the bee sting startled me like a pop of bubbling bacon grease".

Whether Ivy is a Little Old Lady, a Loony Old Lady, or someone that you can Laugh with as you read this book, I think that the way the character is written as a warm, and Lovely Ordinary Lady shown with a good sense of humor and strong morals is really very well done.I look forward to a tour of discovery of more of this author
