Summary: Could Inspector Witherspoon Commit Murder?
Review: In the 8th book in the Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries series, the staff at Upper Edmonton Gardens has new motivation to help the Inspector solve another case. In this Victorian mystery, Inspector Witherspoon of Scotland Yard is being framed...that is, someone is impersonating the Inspector, and a murder takes place! Since Inspector Witherspoon has a weak alibi for the time of the murder, he is taken off the case and his staff immediately jumps in to prove his innocence. Will they be able to prove that the Inspector did not commit the murder? This book is like the previous books in the series in that the strength of the books comes mainly from the characters. I enjoy the growing relationships between the members of Inspector Witherspoon's staff and like seeing how they will avoid having the Inspector figure out that they are helping him. This case is a bit different because of the fact that the staff needs the Inspector's help, and I enjoyed his reaction when he sees how much his staff can do for him. The mystery was a bit easier to solve than some of the others, but it was still a quick, delightful read. The first book in this series is "The Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries". Enjoy!

Summary: Quick read
Review: Very typical of the Mrs. Jeffries' books. This is a very fast read, very enjoyable. The solution was not a total surprise, but that's not really the point of these mysteries. The characters are well-drawn and fun to be with again.
