A Mrs. Jeffries Mystery

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' polished detection skills are up to the task...proving that behind every great man there's a woman - and that a crimesolver's work is never done.

Guilty Bystanders

After a perfectly decent local woman is killed during a robbery, the Witherspoon household receives a surprising visit from a stranger named Blimpey Groggins. He claims his best buddy was convicted of the crime. He also claims the peaceable chap didn't even know how to fire a gun. And considering he's to be hanged in three weeks, Blimpey's desperate to find the real killer. With the trail cold, the crime allegedly solved, and the evidence mucked up, Mrs. Jeffries and her belowstairs cohorts have their work cut out for them if they want to save an innocent man from the gallows.

Always enjoy these

Between the library and Audible I am about halfway through the entire collection of Mrs Jeffries books. I listen to them on and off between other books. I love them! They are simple historical cozy mysteries with charming characters and a minimal amount of violence. They build a bit on one another so a listener should start at the beginning. The first one was written in the 80’s and I believe there are now 36? These are perfect books when you just need simple distraction and a friendly set of voices to get you through the day!

Solid series chapter

Solid story with lots of little twists and turns that are plausible and therefore stretch the mystery. This narrator handles multiple characters very well and delivers the performance with panache.

Love the narrator she is amazing

I absolutely love the story as well as all of Emily Brightwell‘s stories. The characters are so great. They draw you in and keep your attention and keep you wanting to read more.
