4✨ This was so quirky and fun. Jane is not afraid to tell people her two cents. She has helped countless people with her bold extroverted nature. When she gets a job at a retirement community to find out what is causing tension with the people that live there she comes maybe too late when someone is murdered! #roll100 for June @PuddleJumper

A fun cozy mystery! I guessed the person fairly early on, but then doubted myself with some twists and turns thrown in. Fun, likable characters.

I had to read this book based on the title alone! Newly retired Jane is good at solving problems for her group of friends. Word gets out about her abilities and the manager of a retirement condo community calls her.

Hostilities are simmering between various factions and he needs help to calm everyone down. However Jane barely gets settled into her undercover role of new resident before a murder occurs.
