Mrs. Jeffries and the Feast of St. Stephen

Mrs. Jeffries Series, Book 23

De: Emily Brightwell

Narrado por: Jennifer M. Dixon

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 crime solver's work is never done.

A Yuletide dinner in West Brompton should have been a festive occasion, until the host, wealthy Stephen Whitfield, dropped dead before the second course. Now, Mrs. Jeffries and the busy sleuths must rally in support of their inspector, especially since the clues are harder to find than a silver sixpence in a plum pudding.

great Mrs. Jeffries story

I love the Mrs. Jeffries series and this one has a good plot. Love the characters and the way they have grown through the series. It’s great that this series is available on audible and I will continue to purchase them.

Ms. Dixon does a good job reading the stories. My only complaint is the voice they have chosen for Wiggins. His character is a young man in his twenties, whose voice would have changed by now. The voice used is high and shrill and sounds like a little girl. It’s a bit annoying.

A team of detectives

These stories are enjoyable cozy mysteries with likable characters. My one hope for future books is that Wiggins will finally go through puberty so that his voice will no longer be higher than Betsy. Since he’s now in his 20s it’s time.

Intriguing plot

I don’t think I’ve ever read a mystery where a culprit was killed this way. It was very clever and kept on guessing until the end. As usual Mrs Jeffries and the household were their charming, helpful selfs.
There was just one problem with the way the victim was killed. To reveal that would be to give away the plot. Can you spot it?

how it was going to be solved and the wedding is back on

real who done it story and how it was solved at the last minute

Didn’t like Lutie’s new voice

These mysteries are absolutely fabulous. I know some voices must change, due to unforeseen reasons,
But Lutie’s was grating.
