A good cozy series,
By
This review is from: Mrs Jeffries Weeds The Plot (Paperback)
The house on Upper Edmonton Garden belongs to Scotland Yard's Inspector Weatherspoon, a police officer with a homicide resolution rate of 100 %. Except for the participants, no one, including the inspector, realizes that his success is due to his household staff "guiding" him through the quagmire of an investigation.The latest case comes from a previous murder inquiry. Martha Dowling asks the Weatherspoon household for help. Her employee Annabeth Gentry inherited a fortune, a home, and several murder attempts ever since her dog dug up the body of a pick pocket near her new residence. The caretaker of a school near Dowling's estate is also killed. Weatherspoon and his unofficial team begin to make inquiries. This is the sixteenth installment in the delightfully eccentric Victorian mystery series yet the story line retains a fresh thought provoking feel as if MRS. JEFFRIES WEEDS THE PLOT is the first novel. Still, the return of the cast feels like old friends are visiting. The mystery is well drawn even though a hint at the identity of the killer at the midpoint seems a bit early, but it does not take away from Emily Brightwell's wonderful historical amateur sleuth tale.

A cracking good story!,
By S. Schwartz "romonko" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mrs Jeffries Weeds The Plot (Paperback)
This is a really good story in the Mrs. Jeffries series. In it we have what seems to be a number of unrelated events, but when Mrs. Jeffries and her crew get to work to try to help a woman who feels her life is in danger, they uncover a very heinous murderer. And they do all this as usual without letting on to their beloved Inspector Wistherspoon what they are doing in their efforts to help him solve the mystery. These books are all about the characters and I am getting to know and really love the characters in Upper Edmonton Gardens, and sometimes the plot of the book is a bit weak as Ms. Brightwell delineates her characters. But that is not the case this time. There is a really tight plot and a wonderful mystery. A really strong entry in the series!

love this series,
By Ardyth Elms "fantasy writer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mrs Jeffries Weeds The Plot (Paperback)
This is a very entertaining mystery set in England. It is a good type of book to keep your interest. It is hard to know who did the deed until the very end. The characters are lovable and easy to keep up with.
