Items related to Appraisal for Murder (Jolie Gentil Cozy Mystery)
Synopsis
Jolie Gentil moves to Great Aunt Madge's bed and breakfast at the Jersey shore, taking her cat Jazz, and joining Madge's pair of prune-eating dogs. Jolie does not view this as a retreat from her embezzling ex-husband, just a smart change. She had no idea her life was about to get even more complicated. Jolie finds work as a real estate appraiser, but a low-life named Joe Pedone demands that she repay some of her husband's gambling debts and she runs into Michael Riordan, her high school crush. She's not sure which one is more trouble. Jolie appraises Michael's mother's house and finds his mother dead in bed. Soon the mundane work of appraising real estate and dodging suggestions that she go to the ten-year high school reunion are mixed with calls from reporters, scary suggestions from Pedone, and requests that she help the local busybody with First Presbyterian's social services work. Jolie balances her fear of Pedone, conviction that Michael is innocent, and sometimes uneasy friendship with long-ago friend Scoobie. She plots ways to prove both friends innocent, but someone would rather see her dead.

From the Author
Appraisal for Murder was a long time in the making. I finished the first draft in 2004, but thought "something" was missing. My "day job" life was quite busy, so I kept picking up Appraisal for Murder and putting it down after making only a few changes. By 2009, I thought I was closer to achieving my goal of creating a set of characters who had good senses of humor but also challenges in their lives beyond solving a crime. They are, after all, amateurs. I wanted a setting I liked (east coast beach town) and a career that would give Jolie enough flexibility and time to get into trouble (real estate appraiser). Thanks to a visit to my friend Barbara who lived in Ocean Grove, I saw a town that was by the beach without revolving around the beach, and Ocean Alley was born. Jolie is busy making it her own.
