Barbara Ross's Jane Darrowfield, Professional Busybody (Jane Darrowfield#1) was an interesting cozy mystery/whodunit. Jane has a reputation as a fixer among her friends. An administrator for a senior condo community approaches Jane about helping him at his facility. When Jane temporarily moves to the community she soon sees the problem. The residents belong to different cliques and there is friction between two of them that is steadily escalating. One of the main leaders/instigators is found murdered soon after Jane moves in. Meanwhile, Jane is also called on to meet some older men from a dating website for a friend and she reluctantly agrees. A fast paced, multi-faceted story with amateur sleuths, romance, suspicions, unlikely partners and plenty of good old fashioned "busybodiness".
