Jane Darrowfield is using her retirement years to work as a professional busybody in her West Cambridge, Massachusetts community--but this time her client is a woman next door who thinks someone is following her...
 

Megan, who’s purchased the house next to Jane’s, needs some help from her snooping neighbor. Megan’s been having blackouts, hearing voices—and feeling like someone’s following her. Are these symptoms of an illness—or signs that she’s in danger?
 
Considering the extensive security system in Megan’s house, it seems like she should be safe—yet she soon vanishes into thin air. Some think she’s run away, but would this ambitious young lawyer on the partner track really miss a meeting with an important client? And where’s Megan’s cat?
 
The mystery is about to deepen when the cat is finally located in a hidden panic room—and as Jane and the police look into Megan’s friends, family, and past, it may be time to sound the alarm…

Praise for Jane Darrowfield and the Madwoman Next Door

Praise for Barbara Ross’ Jane Darrowfield Mysteries:
 
“Let’s just lay it out here: this is one of the best cozy mysteries I’ve ever read. Not only was Jane Darrowfield, Professional Busybody a smart and suspenseful mystery, it was a funny and moving novel as well.” —Criminal Element
 
“The heroine is soothing, sturdy company.” —Kirkus Reviews on Jane Darrowfield and the Madwoman Next Door
 
“The first story in this series was a hilarious, wacky cozy mystery set in a retirement community.

Pay attention because this is a really creepy mystery.” –Maine Morning Sentinel on Jane Darrowfield and the Madwoman Next Door
 
“A sprightly new cozy series for Ross with plenty of entertaining characters, hidden clues, and a touch of romance.” —Kirkus Reviews on Jane Darrowfield, Professional Busybody
