Anyone ever read any of Charlotte Murray Russell’s Jane Edwards mysteries?

Her cozy mysteries deal with 'Jane Amanda Edwards, a self-satisfied spinster of 45 who tips the scales at 180 pounds—“full-fashioned,” ..the tart-tongued Jane would go on for another sixteen years, gleefully meddling in the affairs of her neighbors in Rockport, Illinois (a thinly fictionalized version of Charlotte’s own home town of Rock Island) at the slightest provocation.'

I haven't but I'm going to ....guess I'll have to get them on interlibrary loan. They were published from 1935 to 1952.
