Imminent unemployment, alligators on her birthday, and a dead man in her bedroom…
What can possibly go wrong?
Loveda Brown is a governess for a wealthy 1911 Boston family,
but things are about to get complicated.
The August heat could be blamed for short tempers and frizzy curls, but only Loveda Brown would know how a dead man landed in her third-floor bedroom unannounced.
Or would she?
The clock ticks down as Loveda and her best friend Bea try to untangle the mystery while her future becomes dimmer than a sixteen-watt lightbulb.
Can she take the heat? Or will the truth shock her world?

Loveda’s Origin Story!
I enjoyed listening to this audiobook and am looking forward to more.
Loveda is an adult orphan and has been working as a governess. Not only is her time as governess running out [boys heading to boarding school] but there’s a dead man in her bedroom. Amusing story of her treatment by the boys and her memories of her parents.
This is an amazing historical fiction book. I bought book one of this series up in Idyllwild, CA after visiting their little musrum on a weekend getaway. However, when I learned there were 2 prequels, I just had to go back to the beginning of Loveda’s story. I could not put this book down and read it in about 3 hours. It was so balanced with history, mystery, and a brave young orphan girl who was trying to make a living, as well as a life, for herself. I can’t wait to buy and read “The Rattler” so I can then read my Book One and start her adventures in Idyllwild (one of my favorite havens on the planet).
The twist at the end was good . Didn’t see it coming . Nice historical book . I read it in one setting . A new series to me . Cute cover
Loveda Brown: The Boston Burglar, my first read from author Jolie Tunnell.. A well-written enjoyable historical mystery. “I received a free Kindle copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.” The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I look forward to reading more from this author, I own 4 of the first 5 books in the series by this author & after reading this one they’ve just moved higher on my TBR list. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
Wow! I just read Boston Burglar in one sitting. It is a great backstory to Loveda’s life in Boston. Thanks for sharing your gift of writing!
