Summary: Inspector Witherspoon Tackles A Case Alone!
Review: In the 9th book in the Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries Victorian Mystery series, we find Inspector Witherspoon trying a new tacit to solving his murder investigations. When a publican (bar owner) is murdered on opening day of his new pub, there does not seem to be any shortage of suspects. It seems that everyone hated the victim, including his wife, his relatives, and his employees. And using his "inner voice" instead of the usual assistance of his staff at Upper Edmonton Gardens (led by housekeeper, Mrs. Jeffries), Inspector Witherspoon is putting himself at risk of losing his job. Will his inner voice help him solve the case or will this be the last murder investigation for him and his staff?I enjoyed the premise of the book in the fact that Inspector Witherspoon decided to handle a case entirely on his own. Even though he is not aware that his staff helps him investigate his cases, I was worried that he would muddle his way through to solving this case. Previous books have shown the Inspector as a bit less than capable of handling tough cases on his own, and it was nice to see that the Inspector was qualified to investigate without too much assistance. I also liked the fact that his staff did not give up trying to help him in any way that they could, and I was pleased with the outcome of the case. If you enjoy cozy mysteries (these are set in Victorian England), then I would suggest trying this series. Since this case is much different than some of the others, I would suggest reading previous books before you read this one. The first book in the series is "The Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries". Enjoy!
