Meet the inspector and Mrs. Jeffries--in a delightful mystery series set in Victorian England--and featuring the most charming characters ever to crack a case.

The evidence was all there: a dead body, two dessert plates, and a gun. Could it be that Mr. Ashbury was sharing his cake with his killer? The old bloke had enemies galore - even his own daughter disliked him. Mr. Ashbury's son-in-law doesn't want Inspector Witherspoon asking questions. Of course this doesn't stop Mrs. Jeffries and her staff snooping around.

Appraise About Books Mrs. Jeffries Takes the Cake (Mrs. Jeffries #13)

I really enjoyed this murder mystery, a step up from Brightwell's previous outings for Inspector Witherspoon, his housekeeper Mrs. Jeffries and the staff of Upper Edmonton Gardens. This time there are more suspects than anyone can cope with. It seems everybody wanted to kill the victim, even his own daughter!When a horrible old man, Mr Roland Ashbury, is found shot through the head in his own house just moments after he's had tea and walnut cake with somebody, the list of suspects is larger than

My mom recced this series to me and it was an A+ rec. These books have such a cute cosy premise - a Victorian detective who is not that great at police work and his household staff who are fabulous at figuring out whodunnit. The staff, led by the housekeeper, gently feed the detective clues so he can 'solve' the cases without realising they're helping him.The mystery in this one was great too! I totally fell for the red herring and only figured out who the real killer was a couple of pages

I enjoy reading this series. The staff is helpful and delightful

Cake with walnuts is the crux to solving this next murder mystery in the fabulous Mrs. Jeffries cozy Victorian series.

I tend to stumble across and read a couple of entries in this series every few years, and always enjoy them. The household staff/neighbors and their dynamic are fun. I usually have to suspend my disbelief, though, because the characters' attitudes can veer too anachronistic (not so much in this one) and because the Inspector is such a duffer. A lovable one, to be sure, but thank goodness for Constable Barnes!

These Victorian mysteries are a good choice for those who enjoy a mystery without the excessive violence, sexual innuendo, or foul language that is common in mysteries with modern settings. Rather reminiscent of Agatha Christie though not as stellar as those classics written by the grande dame of British mystery.

This was really good. I love the setting and the characters in this series. The plot in this was very good.
