INSPECTOR WITHERSPOON ALWAYS TRIUMPHS . . .
HOW DOES HE DO IT?
Even the Inspector himself doesn’t know—because his secret
weapon is as ladylike as she is clever. She’s Mrs. Jeffries—the
determined, delightful detective who stars in this unique Victorian mystery series. Be sure to read them all . . .

A doctor is found dead in his own office—and Mrs. Jeffries
must scour the premises to find the prescription for murder.
Mrs. Jeffries Dusts for Clues
One case is solved and another is opened when the Inspector
finds a missing brooch—pinned to a dead woman’s gown. But
Mrs. Jeffries never cleans a room without dusting under the
bed—and never gives up on a case before every loose end is
tightly tied.
The Ghost and Mrs. Jeffries
Death is unpredictable . . . but the murder of Mrs. Hodges was
foreseen at a spooky séance. The practical-minded housekeeper may not be able to see the future—but she can look into the past and put things in order to solve this haunting
crime.
Mrs. Jeffries Takes Stock
A businessman has been murdered—and it could be because

money’s on Mrs. Jeffries.
Mrs. Jeffries On the Ball
A festive Jubilee celebration turns into a fatal affair—and
Mrs. Jeffries must find the guilty party.

Hannah Cameron was not well liked. But were her friends
or family the sort to stab her in the back? Mrs. Jeffries must

Mrs. Jeffries has to work double-time to find a missing model
and a killer. And she’ll have to get her whole staff involved—
before someone else becomes the next subject.

own killer. Now Mrs. Jeffries will have to dish up some clues.
