Mrs. Jeffries Series

This whole series is top notch. Character development is ongoing and the plots always have a new twist to keep you guessing. Highly recommended!

Mrs. Jeffries and the Thrify Inspector Solve Another!

The 4th book in the Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries series. Scotland Yard has assigned yet another baffling mystery to the Inspector and it is up to Mrs. Jeffries and her household staff to assist him with this case. The latest murder victim is shown to have possibly cheated shareholders out of a large sum of money and all of them are suspects. However, no one is really telling the truth about the night of the murder. Add to this, the Inspector has determined that he should cut his household expenses, and his staff must cut corners while trying to solve this mystery.Once again, I found the characters delightful. I especially liked this book in the series due to the financial constraints that the Inspector puts on his household and the resulting "growling stomach" that he has throughout the case. It is amusing to see some of the dishes that the cook serves him to save money, and how miserable the poor man becomes. This series is written in the cozy style and moves quickly. I consider this a great read on a lazy, rainy afternoon.The first book in this series is "The Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries". Enjoy!
