4.0 out of 5 stars Mrs Jeffries does it again, Jun 30 2004

By	L O'connor (richmond, surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Inspector Witherspoon of Scotland Yard is a nice man, but not a particularly good detective. So his devoted housekeeper, Mrs Jeffries, and the rest of his equally devoted staff, help him to solve his crimes without him knowing. The information they gather is passed on to the Inspector via hints and suggestions from Mrs Jeffries, and he ends up thinking he has solved the cases himself. Once you can accept this wildly improbable premise, you can relax and enjoy the series. In this one,a clergyman has been shot dead and the skeleton of a young woman found in a chimney. Can the Inspector's devoted staff solve these crimes? Of course they can! Mrs Goodge the Cook, Betsy the maid, Wiggins the footman, Smythe the coachman, who is secretly engaged to Betsy (why secretly, I've no idea), and of course Mrs Jeffries herself, are all engaging characters, and their delight whenever there is a murder to solve is quite understandable, after all it's a lot more fun than housework. My favourite characters are feisty American widow Luty Belle Cruickshank, and her argumentative butler Hatchett, who help the Inspector's staff to solve their cases. Never mind the improbability of the premise, suspend disbelief and just enjoy the latest episode in this amusing series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful and refreshing, Jan 7 2004

By	Harriet Klausner - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Scotland Yard's Inspector Witherspoon is wealthy; lives in a luxurious townhouse in London, and his peers respect him and are in awe of his talent of always solving homicide cases assigned to him. People, including the inspector don't realize that his household staff, who care and love him and love being in on the chase, help him find the clues that will lead him to the killer.

His latest case is very perplexing. The Reverend Jasper Claypool who has been in India for ten years has returned to England only to be killed the very same day. None of his heirs claim they have heard from him and a note in the Vicar's handwriting leads them to an abandoned cottage where the body of a woman was been placed in the chimney ten years ago. Both Witherspoon and his house staff are convinced the two are related but to solve this case will take all the resources they can muster and then some.

MRS. JEFFRIES SWEEPS THE CHIMNEY is a delightful and refreshing amateur sleuth tale that relies on cerebral reasoning to solve the case. Witherspoon's staff acts like a tightly knit family who will go to any lengths to see their employer recognized as a hero in the eyes of his supervisors. Emily Brightwell can always be counted on to keep her audience entertained with her witty and upbeat mysteries.
