Today's post is on The Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries by Emily Brightwell. It is the first in her Mrs. Jeffries series. It is 181 pages long and it published by Berkley. The cover is the title in a stylized way. The intended reader is someone who likes cozy mysteries. humor, and fun characters. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this book. The story is told from third person close of the main characters moving from one to the next as the story goes. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- She keeps house for Inspector Witherspoon . . . and keeps him on his toes. Everyone's awed by his Scotland Yard successes—but they don't know about his secret weapon. No matter how messy the murder or how dirty the deed, Mrs. Jeffries's polished detection skills are up to the task . . . proving that behind every great man there's a woman—and that a crime-solver's work is never done.
Review- I loved this cozy so much. It is so funny, the characters are so fun, and the plot was good. I did guess the killer and the reason for the murder well before the end but I was having so much with the characters that I did not care. Mrs. Jeffries is the housekeeper for an innocent but intelligent Scotland Yard inspector. When he gets stuck on his current case, as he always does, he goes home to a nice meal and talks to Mrs. Jeffries. She is an excellent listening ear and even better detective. She helps him by knowing the real ways of the human heart and how someone can murder without a care. A fun new series for me to read and enjoy.
I give this book a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
