That's how aging widow Ivy Malone began feeling once her best friend of many years dies, leaving her more alone than she's felt since her husband passed away. Slowly this less-than-spry, but still too-curious retired librarian realizes how people seem to look right through her or past her without ever noticing that she's around at all. But when the young, vibrant woman who rented from her lately deceased best friend turns up dead with no clues to tell the local police what happened, why the girl died or who did it, Ivy Malone begins to realize her newly acquired invisibility might be on her side after all.
Quickly making friends with the detective assigned to investigate the death of this young woman who, it seems has been living under the name and social security number of a deceased girl about her own age, "aged-eye" Ivy Malone begins to ferret out the answers the slow-moving police department is too mired in red tape to discover for themselves. Her unorthodox methods of investigation take her across state lines and back and into a local cemetery where vandals have inexplicably been overturning the headstones. Is there a connection to the death of the impostor Ivy has grown to like so well and the disrupted graveyard or are the two incidences unrelated?
Although this story may begin at a slower pace than most mystery readers are used to, it quickly pulls the imagination in to enjoying every nuance of what it means to be an elderly widow no one seems to notice, until this overage amateur sleuth steps on one too many toes, causing her home to be vandalized with a crude drawing and threat left behind to warn her off. But which case is she being warned off from, the cemetery vandalism or the unsolved death of this girl living someone else's life?
That's the dilemma that pushes Ivy Malone on to solving the murder in spite of death threats from criminals and admonishments from police detectives to leave the detective work to the professionals. Invisible, by author Lorena McCourtney is a laugh-fest of a double-mystery you won't want to miss out on. It may be the most enjoyable book you've read since Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
