Narrative To Books Mrs. Jeffries Pleads Her Case (Mrs. Jeffries #17)
Inspector Witherspoon is Scotland Yard's top detective when it comes to solving messy or strange murders. No one really understands how the quiet, unassuming man of inherited wealth went from records file clerk to the leading murder detective with no unsolved crimes in his career. They don't realize that unbeknownst to him, that he has an entire crew working behind the scenes to help him find the answers! Meet Mrs. Jeffries, the inspector's housekeeper and the brains behind his astounding success; along with Mrs. Goodge, the cook; Wiggins, the footman; Betsy, the maid; Smythe, the coachman; and Luty Belle Crookshank, a wealthy American and her Butler, Hatchet, who have become close friends with the Inspector's household staff. Murderers in Victorian England don't stand a chance of getting away with their crimes with this crew hunting them down!When Chief Inspector Barrows asks Inspector Witherspoon to discretely investigate what was ruled as a suicide, Mrs. Jeffries and the staff are more than happy to suss out clues and determine if justice has been miscarried. Chief Inspector Barrows is approached by his former nanny because she is convinced that her lodger, Harlan Westover, did not commit suicide while she was out of town and that the inquest was wrong because Harlan was a devout Catholic. Harlan Westover was an engineer who had just perfected a revolutionary new engine that was pulling in major sales from the mining community. Did someone from his employer's firm have something to do with his death? Was the board meeting that he attended just before his death the impetus that pushed a killer into taking matters into his own hand?

Lovely and funI registered a book at BookCrossing.com!http://www.BookCrossing.com/journal/12843337
Good book. I love this series for the well developed character back story. These are great for when I need something light to read.
Another enjoyable story in this series. Unusual for me, I was on to the culprit early...but the twists and turns in the story had me second-guessing myself until the end.
This is a quick and serviceable read. A group of servants help their pleasant but seemingly incompetent police inspector boss solve a murder made to look like a suicide. The real mystery was whether the servants have any actual work to do, and, if so, how they manage to get it done when when they are out everyday scouring the city for clues. The premise of the well-intentioned "downstairs" staff accomplishing through their wit and creativity what their social betters cannot is cute. The book was
A real pleasure to read. Ms. Bright well threw some fun curves into this mystery and the crew of Upper Edmonton Gardens were scrambling to solve the case. Love this series!
It's spring sports season and it seems that mysteries are the only thing I can read while waiting for kids at their various games, practices, and meetings. Another fun Mrs. Jeffries mystery. But I think I am ready for a bit of a break from this series. I'll return to read more of them.
