As Someone Said, This Series is "Cozy"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
If you want a murder mystery of unique standard and humanity (the wife loves them; so cuppa and suss are words that didn't come into use until the 20th century you will still enjoy this late 19th century murder mystery and their companions featuring a group of people who become a family in kind to do the work of justice).

The 3rd book in the series. A housekeeper, Mrs. Jeffries, and her staff assist Inspector Witherspoon solve another baffling case for Scotland Yard.At a seance, Mrs. Hodges was taken aback by the medium's dire prediction, but quickly dismissed it as nonsense. That night, Mrs. Hodges was murdered. Inspector Witherspoon is on the case, but unfortunately he doesn't have a crystal ball to tell him whodunit. He does have his housekeeper Mrs. Jeffries and the rest of his staff to help him solve this case. However, Mrs. Jeffries is so good, even he cannot figure out that they are helping him!Another good installment in the series. Highly recommended even if you have never read any of the others. Light, easy read.The first book in this series is "The Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries". Enjoy!
Very Good

This is the best Victorian/English mystery so far. The best part about is the way the household finds and gives info to the inspector. This book has everything a good mystery needs!!!! Great main characters, a cop called Nivens who hates the inspector, and a plot that will keep you guessing. Move over Mrs. Seeton, here comes Mrs. Jefferies. This book is like Lillian Brauns the Cat who... books. Reccomend all these books and the cat who... books. This is a very enjoyable read.
