Everyone's awed by Inspector Witherspoon's Scotland Yard successes, but they don't know about his secret weapon. Her name is Mrs. Jeffries, and she keeps house for the Inspector - and keeps him on his toes. No matter how messy the murder or how dirty the deed, her polished detection skills are up to the task. Because as she knows all too well, a crimesolver's work is never done. Now in one volume: the first three adventures of mystery's most beloved Victorian housekeeper:
The Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries: While Inspector Witherspoon receives accolades for his Scotland Yard successes, his housekeeper, Mrs. Jeffries, does the lion's share of the detective work.
Mrs. Jeffries Dusts for Clues: He's with Scotland Yard. She's his housekeeper. Sometimes, her job can be murder. A servant girl and a priceless brooch vanish at the same time, and it doesn't take a genius to put two and two together. The Inspector finds the brooch on a dead woman--but where's the missing servant? Fortunately, Mrs. Jeffries isn't one to give up on a case just because of a few loose ends.
The Ghost and Mrs. Jeffries: Mrs. Hodges attends her first seance with an open mind, but the meddling busybody gets more than she bargained for when the medium foresees her death--and the prediction comes true that very night. Now Victorian England's Mrs. Jeffries, housekeeper for Scotland Yard's Inspector Witherspoon, is on the case.
