Excellent book, wonderful plot look forward to more in the series
A very cozy story with characters I wouldn’t mind knowing for real.
A cozy read involving “networking “ in its most original form. A clever housekeeper who leads a household staff in order to support their kind hearted police employer who just happens to be assigned to the most difficult homicides in Old
London.
Great series!

Another great English, historical under mystery series
An interesting read.
It was ok same as Ms Hudson series
have read all of the mrs jefferies series
a lighted hearted read, have read several of these mysteries, and enjoyed them all
It was a cute mystery
Have loved these since I was a child. It demonstrates that women in the past where as strong and knowledgeable as they are today
Comfy, change of pace from the ugly ones.
I found this book so-so. It just wasn’t my cup o’ tea!
I love this series and plan to read all of them!
While well loved by his staff the detective is a bit too clueless.
I like the clueless Inspector being led along by his devoted staff.
He is a kind man and so is worthy of their help and they catch the criminal in the end.
Justice!!
MYSTERIES WERE NOT GORY..CHARACTERS EASY TO GET ATTACHED TO..LIGHT AND RESTFUL BUT ENJOYABLE
