about this book: It isn't every day that Jolie Gentil walks into Java Jolt and finds it empty. It's a really unique day when she later finds Java Jolt's owner (Joe) badly injured. And Jolie's troubles are just beginning. Whoever is after Joe believes Jolie has something they want. And they'll do anything to get it.

In "Ground to a Halt," Jolie confronts not only an angry thug, she has to confront her own passion for answers versus her growing love for longtime best bud, Scoobie. In between appraising houses and running the food pantry, Jolie's digging for clues so whoever is after Java Jolt's owner will leave her alone. And alive.

"Ground to a Halt" is at heart a mystery. There is a more love interest than in the other Jolie Gentil books. Does Jolie end up with Scoobie? She's been spending a lot of time with her former boyfriend, George, as the two of them try to figure out who is after Joe, and now Jolie. Maybe she's more like George. Or maybe opposites attract.
