Mrs. Jeffries Pleads Her Case by Emily Brightwell

I found this title at a reduced bookseller and picked it up see how Mrs. Jeffries' team of amateur sleuths were helping out their bumbling employer, Inspector Witherspoon . This time the housekeeping staff and friends are on the lookout for clues to help solve the murder of the chief engineer from a failing business. There are suspects a-plenty and apparently little concrete evidence - at least at first!  It is a formula plot, so once you have read one title in the Victorian Mystery series, you can guess how the rest are going to go. But, it still served as a quick, pleasant read. 197 pages.
