Mrs. Jeffries questions the answer Book

Mrs. Jeffries and Inspector Witherspoon investigate the murder of a woman who had no shortage of enemies in this novel in the New York Times bestselling Victorian Mystery series.Hannah Cameron was not well-liked, but who stabbed her in the back? While almost everyone believes she was killed by a burglar'Mrs. Jeffries needs more evidence to be convinced. But when the case is given to Inspector Nivens, Mrs. Jeffries and the rest of the household will have to tiptoe around the case to find the real killer..

This series centers around the household of Gerald Witherspoon, an extremely kind, but not terribly bright individual who has a great reputation for his amazing (if not downright unlikely) success at solving murders. Inspector Witherspoon doesn't realize it, but his good deeds and kindly nature have created great loyalty on the part of his household staff. Led by the housekeeper, Mrs. Jeffries, a policeman's widow, they successfully (and competitively) investigate every case, and tactfully pass the information along to Witherspoon. A few friends and neighbors eventually join in to help.I like having a largish band of appealing, repeating characters who are distinct from one another and continue to develop throughout the series. The stories are somewhat formulaic, which the reader may like or dislike. Personally, I wish that the continuing subplots would develop and change a little faster. The books are best read in order if you can, although it isn't crucial. Highly Recommend.
