With London’s streets deserted, a young flower girl is murdered. But why was she out so late on the foggiest night of the year? The inspector has no where to even begin looking for a suspect. However Mrs. Jeffries, his housekeeper, is even more accomplished at detection than she is at household management.
This charming series of Victorian murder mysteries features mild-mannered Inspector Witherspoon of Scotland Yard and, more importantly, Mrs Jeffries, his housekeeper. A policeman s widow herself, her quick wits allow her to nudge the Inspector in the right direction to solve the crime.
About the Author
Emily Brightwell was born in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia. Her family moved to Southern California in 1959 and she grew up in Pasadena. After graduating from California State University Fullerton, she decided to work her way around the world and started in England. She didn t get any further because she met future her husband there, got married and moved back to California. While living in Long Beach, she decided to pursue her dream and become a writer - despite having two children and a full-time job. She began the Mrs. Jeffries series in 1993 with "The Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries" and has written forty more mysteries in the series in the following twenty-nine years. Emily has just finished (January 23) writing the next Mrs. Jeffries mystery : "Mrs. Jeffries Aims to Win" to be published in August 2023. Almost all books are available as audio books (unabridged) and most are available in large print format.
Now that her children are grown and have left home - Emily and her husband live in Northern Nevada. Her books are also sold in the United Kingdom, Japan, and Hungary. Emily is a relieved Everton FC supporter, loves Korean TV dramas, and "high altitude" baking.
