Ivy’s best friend, Thea, has just died. Before her death, she discovered that tombstones in the Country Peace Cemetary, where her aunt and uncle are buried, have been vandalized. Ivy and Thea had reported it to the police, but it didn’t appear that they were going to do anything about it. So, now Ivy decides to investigate for herself.

She stakes out the cemetery at night, waiting for the vandals. She doesn’t think about being in danger. She’s just hoping to get a license number to give to the police. One night she seems something ominous happen, and she finds herself unable to stop investigating.

Then Thea’s tenant, Kendra, is found murdered. She had never given out much information about herself, and when Ivy begins to look into Kendra’s past, she finds more questions than answers.

Soon Ivy realizes that she is invisible. Oh, she can be seen, but most people just look through her as if she isn’t there. She begins to use this to her advantage in her investigations.

The authorities try many times to get her to stop investigating for her own safety, but she doesn’t listen.

I really enjoyed Ivy. She is such a spry senior citizen, and she does things I wouldn’t do. She always makes me laugh! It’s a great Christian mystery and very much a cozy. I highly recommend it! I can’t wait to read the next one.
