Description

Jane Smith used to hate being average. With her mousy hair and watery brown eyes, she blends into the background, easily forgotten. But that’s exactly what makes her a successful private investigator.

While others stand out, Jane goes unnoticed, gathering valuable information along the way. Her mother, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. She’s the nosy busybody of the neighborhood and always wants Jane to investigate something.

This time, it’s their new neighbors who have caught her attention. Despite numerous attempts to meet them, they seem to be hiding something. And according to her mother, anyone who rejects her invitations and welcome cookies has something to hide. But when Jane investigates the suspicious death of a local man, she realizes the mysterious house next door may hold the key to the truth.

Little does she know, the web she’s about to unravel will also reveal secrets of those closest to her. With a blend of suspense, intrigue, and wit, this cozy mystery will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the shocking truth is revealed.

This was such a fun story with a lead character I really loved. There are plenty of funny scenarios mixed in with a pretty thrilling heist and the author’s knack for a quirky character really hits the mark.

This book is a delightful and quirky read that turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. Following Jane, a self-proclaimed “average” woman, the story takes unexpected twists as her seemingly mundane life unravels into a series of charming, humorous, and heartfelt adventures. The author’s witty prose and relatable characters make it easy to root for Jane as she discovers her own uniqueness. While the pacing is occasionally slow, the book’s charm lies in its celebration of the everyday, proving that even the most average life can be anything but. Perfect for anyone seeking a light, uplifting escape with a touch of whimsy.

A very fun read indeed. I loved the wit, the intrigue and the explanations inside Jane's head when others were speaking. It was a great escapsim book that I sped through as I was having so much fun. The mystery side of things was also great although I did guess who the new neighbour was quite early on in the book.
