Commentary In Favor Of Books Mrs. Jeffries and the Best Laid Plans (Mrs. Jeffries #22)

This was a really enjoyable, quick read. Inspector Witherspoon is a successfull and respected murder investigator. What he doesn't know is that his housekeeper, Mrs. Jeffries, and his other household staff help him solve his cases by doing their own investigation and dropping him hints. This time, an unpopular banker dies, and Mrs. Jeffries and her team must help the inspector find the murderer before it's too late - and before his nemesis Nivens can take the case away from him.

Evaluate About Books Mrs. Jeffries and the Best Laid Plans (Mrs. Jeffries #22)

Quirky characters & well plotted murders make this historical series a Must Read!

This book is slow going as previous books are constantly and excessively recapped. You figure out who the murderer is long before the characters in the book do, leaving you to wonder if they're idiots. It has a stupid cliff ending which could have been resolved if any of the characters had thought for a minute, however I suppose thinking about the murder wore them out.

Loved it. Like all her other books in the series.

I liked this book and the characters, but it's more and more awkward that Witherspoon is unaware that the servants are investigating, and that even Barnes is in the know. It seems like at this point they are so into secretly solving murders that they are doing Witherspoon a disservice - and he thinks he's more talented than he is. If I try to not think too hard about that while reading it is more enjoyable!

Lawrence Boyd was a nasty, ill-tempered man. No one was very surprised when someone murders him. When Inspector Witherspoon is assigned the case, his household staff spring into action to unobtrusively help him. Inspector Nivens is hot on Witherspoon's trail to try to discredit him and the staff feel that someone is following them. Is it one of Niven's henchmen or is it someone from the past who wishes the Inspector harm?KD 1-15Check out this book today!

Nobody is terribly upset when someone murders banker Lawrence Boyd - he had many enemies and no friends. The murderer tried to cover up the murder by setting fire to the studio where Boyd was painting, but the police quickly catch on and Inspector Gerald Witherspoon is assigned the case. There are a lot of suspects and it will take time to question them all, but Witherspoon needs to solve the case fast because his rival, Inspector Nigel Nivens, will do anything to discredit him.
