With her best friend Shelley by her side and her detective beau nearby, Jane juggles childcare, community gossip, and a killer who may be closer than anyone suspects.

Balancing family, romance, and curiosity, Jane finds herself navigating the chaos of community life when tragedy strikes close to home. The more she digs into the crime, the more secrets she uncovers — proving that behind every suburban smile lies a story.
With her trademark humor, clever plotting, and affection for everyday life, Churchill blends domestic warmth with a satisfying mystery. Someone to Watch Over Me reminds readers why Jane Jeffry has become one of cozy fiction’s most relatable and enduring heroines — down-to-earth, funny, and always two steps ahead.
