Bored after her retirement, Jane Darrowfield gets paid to become a busybody in this audiobook. The manager of Walden Spring retirement home asks Jane to move in and locate the source of conflict in the community. Narrator Traci Odom makes residents sound realistic, especially during the food fight. When the leader of one of the cliques is murdered, Jane finds her job to be much bigger than merely dealing with arguments over golf schedules or access to the game room. As Odom voices her characters, she makes them sound genuine, whether they are seniors or middle-aged, men or women. Odom’s strong expression builds up or releases tension, depending on the situation, allowing listeners to live Jane’s experiences along with her. V.M.G. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
Jane Darrowfield is a year into her retirement, and she's already traveled and planted a garden. She's organized her photos, her recipes, and her spices. The statistics suggest she has at least a few more decades ahead of her, so she better find something to do . . .
After Jane helps a friend with a sticky personal problem, word starts to spread around her bridge club-and then around all of West Cambridge, Massachusetts-that she's the go-to girl for situations that need discreet fixing. Soon she has her first paid assignment-the director of a fifty-five-and-over condo community needs her to de-escalate hostilities among the residents. As Jane discovers after moving in for her undercover assignment, the mature set can be as immature as any high schoolers, and war is breaking out between cliques.
It seems she might make some progress-until one of the aging "popular kids" is bludgeoned to death with a golf club. And though the automatic sprinklers have washed away much of the evidence, Jane's on course to find out whodunit . . .
