My review;
I just finished reading Mrs. Jeffries and the Merry Gentlemen part of the, A Victorian Mystery series by Emily Brightwell. and I found it to be very enjoyable. Inspector Witherspoon is getting ready to celebrate the holidays when a rich stockbroker is murdered right before Christmas. His housekeeper, Mrs. Jeffries , never looks the other way and leads them all to see that justice is found for the dead man. Mrs. Jeffries is more than just a housekeeper and Inspector Witherspoon is ready to let her help. Once again she is ready willing and able to try to solve this mystery. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for the purpose of a review from Night Owl Reviews and all opinions are my own. * Property Night Owl Reviews
