Writing of Elaine L. Orr
THE JOLIE GENTIL SERIES

Can a real estate appraiser get into this much trouble?  Jolie returns to her New
Jersey beach town and it's not long before she’s found the body of a former
classmate’s mother, danced with a skeleton, and been talked into running the local
food pantry. To think she moved into Aunt Madge’s B&B to have a quieter life...

Appraisal for Murder

Jolie Gentil dumps a husband who spent through their assets and moves to Aunt
Madge's B&B on the Jersey shore.  Soon she's catching up with old friends and
solving a murder.  And trying not to get killed herself.

Rekindling Motives

As she appraises a house, Jolie Gentil finds the skeleton of Richard Tillotson hidden
in an antique attic wardrobe. He vanished in 1929.  When his former girlfriend is
killed just after Jolie meets her, Jolie knows she and friend Scoobie are onto
something.  Between running the food pantry at Christmas time and escaping a
burning building, they hope to figure out who the modern-day killer is before
someone else gets hurt.  Rekindling Motives is available in
paperback or as an
ebook from
Amazon (Kindle) or Smashwords (all other e-formats).

When the Carny Comes to Town

It’s not fun to sit on a plank above the dunk tank at the annual Ocean Alley
Carnival, but it’s for a good cause so Jolie tries to be a good sport. Who knew the
food pantry’s carnival fundraiser could leave Scoobie fighting for his life? Jolie
seeks help from her nemesis, reporter George Winters, and Aunt Madge and her
senior citizen friends.  She has to find Scoobie’s attacker before he comes back to
finish his handiwork or prey on anyone else. (February 2012)
