Rating:  Summary: A Great Read!!! Review: I was so happy to find this series! Mrs. Jeffries is a delightful lady who runs the house for Inspector Witherspoon. He isn't very good at solving murders, but Mrs. Jeffries and her staff are, so they help him out by doing some behind the scenes investigating. Then they steer the inspector in the right direction without letting him know. The characters are wonderful and they grow with each book. This may not be the greatest mystery you have ever read, but it will still be one you can't wait to finish so you can start the next one. I love them!!!!
Rating:  Summary: Mrs. Jeffries Leads the Pack! Review: This is the first book in the Mrs. Jeffries series and introduces us to the household staff of Inspector Witherspoon. It seems that the Inspector needs just a bit of help in solving his murder cases for Scotland Yard, and Mrs. Jeffries and her staff set out to help him solve his first case. When a local doctor is poisoned, the Inspector must determined if he was killed by his own cook or if someone is trying to frame her to throw suspicion elsewhere. I enjoyed reading this first book in the series, and enjoyed the relationships between the characters (mainly Mrs. Jeffries and the other members of the household) better than the actual mystery itself. I thought that Inspector Witherspoon was portrayed as a bit too dumb in this book, but having read several in the series, I have to say that he gains more skills and confidence in his abilities as the series grows. If you enjoy cozy mysteries, than this Victorian mystery is for you. Enjoy!
