Mrs. Jeffries Takes the Stage

Rating:
Summary: A simply delightful, light masterpiece.
Review: From the opening of this book you are pulled into a wonderful world of servants living a slightly soft life. Led by their thoughtful housekeeper Mrs. Jeffries. This household does a lot more snooping than polishing the silver and always seem to come up with the answer just in time to save their beloved Inspector. Inspector Witherspoon who is just slightly naive but a truly gentle man at heart.When a nasty play critic is murdered it seems that Scotland Yard has got themselves another difficult hommicide. The suspects range from a beautiful actress to a beginning playwrite. Will Witherspoon fall for the actress and forget all about Lady Cannonberry. The case seems like a hopeless mess but will Mrs. Jeffries be able to turn this case around? True Mrs. Jeffries is far from like Sherlock Holmes their methods being quite. But their is more than one way to find the solution. Well like Brightwell says,"Behind every great man, theirs a great woman." An enchanting mystery with lots of suspense. Lots of subplots, such as who is the mysterious gift giver or what will happen to Smythe and Betsy? Its almost like a soap opera!
