The Mysteries Continue Life goes on in Ocean Alley, but change is underfoot. Unexpected Resolution opens with a surprise guest at Jolie and Scoobie's wedding, and an unidentified body in the Ocean Alley Hospital emergency room. Jolie has to help Scoobie dig through family skeletons -- and solve a murder.. The Twain Does Meet is a novella that relays the story of Jolie and Scoobie becoming parents. While there is lots to discover, it's not a traditional cozy mystery. It didn't seem right to combine such a joyous even with a corpse. In fact, it's called it a Jolie and Scoobie novella. The series moves ahead three years with Underground in Ocean Alley. As a mom of toddlers, Jolie Gentil has sworn off butting into other people's business.
