Editorial Review:
Despite a full schedule, frazzled suburban single mom Jane Jeffry has agreed to lend a hand during a two-day gathering of her friend Shelley's former high school girl's club.So while the reunited ladies are dishing dirt, Jane is sweeping it up -- and she inadvertently becomes privy to all sorts of interesting postgraduate gossip and long-smoldering resentments. But then a corpse turns up among the one-time student body, the unfortunate victim of some rather nasty after-school activities. And unless Jane gets to the bottom of a sordid senior-year scandal, more alumnae are sure to die at the hands of a calculating classmate who's majoring in murder.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Decent little cozy
Though I only have one of her books, it is subtitled "A Jane Jeffry Mystery" and I gather it is one of a series of books where an average, everyday person finds themselves continuously embroiled in the heart of murders, burglaries, and kidnappings.... Rather unbelievable as a series, but very nice for a single book. Also, for all of you Agatha Christie lovers, she sets all of the pertinent clues out for you to find - if you're smart enough, you can solve the mystery right along with the main character.
Rating:  - Nicely Done Cozy Mystery
Jane Jeffry agrees to help her friend Shelley Nowack during Shelley's class reunion. Several of Shelley's former classmates will be staying at a local Bed and Breakfast that has just opened and is short on staff. Jane thinks the job will be fairly easy but she is surprised by all the gossip and innuendoes going on and even less pleasantly surprised when someone starts playing practical jokes on all the former classmates. But the gossip and practical jokes are nothing compared to murder - while doing her ... Read More

# 4 in the Jane Jeffry series, THE CLASS MENAGERIE, takes on a classic life event, the class reunion. I can't think of an author or character more suited to gently expose the nightmarish psychological essence, the foibles and fun of high school friends re-uniting after decades of battles with the War of Time. Why is this potentially such a horrifying event, requiring more courage (and providing more raw pain) than childbirth itself?
If youth is lost, what has replaced the waste. If hope has ... Read More
Rating: - Murder at the Reunion
Jane Jeffry is a suburban mother who is asked by her friend Shelly to help out at a gathering of her old high school club called the Ewe Lambs. Jane can't help hearing the Lambs gossip about the good old days and, as they are reminiscing, she picks up dirt on old crushes, lies and the mysterious death of a high school heartthrob on Prom Night. Then one of the Ewe Lambs is found murdered and Jane is determined to find out why and, wouldn't you know it, I was just as involved in the mystery as Jane was as I eagerly ... Read More
Rating: - My favorite one so far...
This is the third Jane Jeffrey mystery I have read and so far it is the best! Jill Churchill introduces several interesting characters which make the suspense even greater. This is a fun mystery with a bit of comedy from Jane and her friend Shelley. I hated to put this book down! After reading this I went out and bought the rest of the series. I can't wait to get started on the next one!
