A Kindle freebie. As a mystery, there is nothing much to object to in this story, except perhaps that the Little-Old-Lady heroine is given to taking remarkable physical risks and seems to suffer much less in the way of physical consequences than you might expect. Demure in the Miss Marple vein she i...
I received a free kindle copy of Invisible (Ivy Malone Mysteries #1) by Lorena McCourtney in an Amazon promotion. I gave this terrific cozy mystery five stars from start to finish. It made me laugh heartily many times. It also made me think about aging bringing about a certain form of invisibility.I...
Invisible is a quick cozy mystery read that seems to have reviews all over the map, from one star to five. It is an overtly Christian mystery and the summary on Amazon does not mention this.

I got this free download in a fit of guilt for buying too many books for my Kindle. I love Miss Marple stories, and this is superficially a similar concept - little old lady, mild-mannered and almost ignored by the world at large (hence the 'invisible' of the title), investigating the disappearance ...
Charmingly leisurely mystery set in small-town Missouri with a self-described little old lady as its sleuth. Not bad for a temporarily free (Kindle) book.
