Book Synopsis

Jolie Gentil is surprised at a request from Sergeant Morehouse, who believes his nephew is not a runaway. Something had terrified the teenager, but before Morehouse could figure it out, Kevin was gone. Jolie has a soft spot for Kevin, who helped Scoobie's young brother Terry adjust to life in Ocean Alley. And then the hospital's head nurse is murdered. Does it link to Kevin's disappearance?

Add to the mix Aunt Madge's decision to run for Ocean Alley mayor. She believes a proposed resort will change the character of Ocean Alley and plans to convince voters progress doesn't have to mean lots more concrete.

Jolie plans a Cinco de Mayo fundraiser for the food pantry as she pokes around town. It gives her faith in her hunches. Scoobie isn't so sure. But Kevin's life may depend on Jolie's certainty and her efforts to find him before a killer does.

Review Quotes

Like most of the later books in the series, Underground in Ocean Alley is a gently paced but awesome mystery. I got hooked on the series with the first book and have loved everyone including this 11th entry in the series.

Jeanie Jackson on Goodreads

A good fun read with enough twists and turns to keep me guessing. I noticed that there are lots more books in this series and I think perhaps it is time to get to know Jolie Gentil better!
