About this ebook
When Jolie Gentil goes to buy a cup of coffee the morning after a storm knocks out power at her house in Ocean Alley, she finds Java Jolt unlocked and minus its owner. A bigger surprise is seeing proprietor Joe Regan a few minutes later, badly injured. It seems a potential killer thinks Jolie has something Joe was hiding. The normal routine of appraising houses and volunteering at the Harvest for All food pantry is interrupted by an SUV that nearly smashes Jolie, a break-in at the home Jolie and Scoobie share, and a terrifying kidnapping. Jolie needs to figure out who's telling the truth and how far the thugs will go to to find what they want. Only solving the puzzle will keep Jolie safe, protect a vulnerable Iraqi vet, and make sure everyone stays alive. But if Jolie keeps searching, her budding romance with Scoobie may grind to a halt.

I thoroughly enjoyed Ground to a Halt. Oftentimes, when a series hits 8 books, the author has settled into a formulaic rut, where book after book is essentially the same characters doing the same things. Character development happens in the first couple of books and then stops. Fortunately for us, this is NOT the case for Elaine Orr. All of the characters, not just the protagonist, grow with the changing circumstances of their lives. Even the locale, Ocean Alley, responds to the trauma of Hurricane Sandy.
