Mrs Jeffries Takes The Stage Paperback – 5 Mar. 2015

GREAT READ

An unpopular theatre critic, recently returned from a spell in America is found dead in a canal but it becomes clear during the post mortem that he was probably drowned in his bath and the body moved. Mrs Jeffries and her fellow employees must try and solve the murder and stop their employer, Inspector Witherspoon arresting the wrong person.Between them all they soon manage to uncover more about the victim and the people surrounding him, including the cast of a play of which he was going to write a review on the night he was murdered. Mrs Jeffries and her fellow sleuths are suffering a little from a crisis of confidence as in the previous book in the series the Inspector got there ahead of them. Soon they start to get their confidence back as they accumulate more and more information.This is a light hearted Victorian mystery with some interesting series characters. I love the way the servants all work together to solve the crime together with their friends Luty Belle Crookshank and her butler Hatchet and neighbour, Lady Ruth Cannonbury. If you want something not too taxing to read then I can recommend this book and this series. The books can be read in any order

Really enjoyed this book kept me reading,a very good story love the characters they seem so real worth a read

Just a good story along the lines of Miss Marple - sleuthing with a touch of humour. What's not to like
