Commentary Toward Books The Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries (Mrs. Jeffries #1)
This was an interesting premise for a period cozy. Mrs. Jeffries is the housemaid for Scotland Yard Inspector Witherspoon. She and the rest of her crew solve one of the Inspector's cases for him without his knowing.While credited as the first in the series I kept feeling as though I had missed something from a previous book. In some ways this is a credit to the author that she really developed her characters and their relations to each other. But at the same time I kept questioning whether this was really the first book.
While I wasn't totally sucked into this first installment in the series I think I shall give a few more a chance before ruling this series one to continue reading.

The Inspector appears to be a very kind man but a greater dunce in law enforcement has not been located. He simply does not feel comfortable and is not knowledgeable about his job. This is beyond not being swift on the uptake - he is incompetent and ignorant. Just not willfully so, it's more...Stupidly so.The fact that Mrs. Jeffries seriously has to lead him around for him to notice anything
Second reading December 16-December 20, 2019Having just read two of the latest mysteries in this series, I wanted to reread this first book as I launch into reading this series in order. Wow, the characters have changed- evolved- just like regular human beings haha! I love this series. I remember thinking the characters had changed a bit when I was reading the later books but rereading this first one, it's quite clear.I had no memory of Whodunnit and was quite taken into the mystery and enjoyed
More cozy than mystery. Wooza is it historically inaccurate! Still pretty fun to read though. I'll at least read the next one because there is a certain charm in them.

What a fun cozy. Likeable characters, a bit of humor and a decent mystery. I've found another series to love.
There are a whopping 34 books in the Mrs. Jeffries Mystery series. 34! But, I can say with no reservations, that book #1 was delightful! If all of the stories in this series are such fun reads, then I can see how the stack of published Mrs. Jeffries novels has grown to 34 books!The plot in a nutshell: Mrs. Jeffries is the housekeeper for Inspector Gerald Witherspoon. Witherspoon received a promotion after helping solve a rash of horrible murders. He used to be a records clerk for Scotland Yard,
