Thomas Mundy seemed like an unlikely victim of murder. New in town, and presumably without the time to make enemies, yet he ends up dead. Turns out Mundy wasn't so new, or so innocent. An experienced con man trying to outrun his past, his body proves that he failed. Now it's up to Mrs. Jeffries and crew to find out which part of his past came back to kill him. ( )

Inspector Witherspoon is a good man & diligent detective who always solves his crimes, however he's not as bright as his superiors believe him to be. His housekeeper on the other hand, Hephzibah Jeffries, Nosy Parker, is.

Whenever Inspector Witherspoon has a murder to solve, Mrs Jeffries, the house-staff, neighbors, & friends of the Inspector get together without his knowledge and investigate.

Each evening, Mrs. Jeffries has a sherry before dinner with her employer gently urging him to share his thoughts & worries about the crime, which she then shares with the others...

In this book a confidence man sees specters of his dead past appear before him and it literally kills him.

As always, Inspector Witherspoon comes to the "Wrong" conclusion it is up to Mrs Jeffries to make it "Right"

I really liked the plot & the story. The book held my interest, I read it straight through, without interruption. The characters involved in the crime were interesting & all had solid motives.

I'm not too keen on the fact that the author always has the Inspector be the ninny and Mrs. Jeffries the bright shine that plants the correct solution into his thoughts. I'm also not keen on a good portion of the series's story lines so I generally tend to pass them over. ( )

I really enjoy the Mrs. Jeffries series, and I think this is book #35 or so. I did find that there was plenty of action in the book and Mrs. Jeffries and her crew were kept exceedingly busy trying to figure this one out. For one thing there were an anwful lot of suspects who had good motives for getting rid of Thomas Mundy. And Mr. Mundy was an unlikeable person, so it's difficult for them to get a handle on his comings and goings and his personal interactions. The murder occurs in a little hotel call the Wrexley Hotel, and there aren't a lot of people, suspects or otherwise that live in London. Most are tourists, transients and people who want to remain annonymous like Mr. Mundy himself. The crime itself was pretty violent and it occurred in Mundy's hotel room. But Mrs. Jeffries and her assorted partners from Upper Edmonton Gardens stick to it, follow what clues there are, and persevere until the real killer is found. Lots of fun and lots of coming and going out of the back door of this little hotel. ( )

Inspector Gerald Witherspoon has gained quite a reputation for solving murders but, while he is good at his job, (unknown to him) he has been helped solve these cases by his household staff and a few friends. The staff enjoys solving murders but the killing of Thomas Mundy will be tough to solve - he was a con artist who hurt many people who are happy that he has died. Witherspoon thinks he knows who the killer is but does he have the wrong person and if he does how can Mrs. Jeffries help him arrest the right person?

“Mrs. Jeffries Rights a Wrong” is the nicely done thirty-fifth book in Emily Brightwell's Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries cozy mystery series set in Victorian England - a series that, even with so many books in the series, stays fresh and seems to get better with each new book in the series. By now the characters in the book - the inspector, Barnes, Mrs. Jeffries, Mrs. Goodge, Smythe, Betsy, Wiggins, Phyllis, Luty, Hatchet, and Ruth - feel like old friends yet Brightwell always seems to find a way to make them grow in each book. In this book it was Wiggins’ character who is finally developing in a way that I have been wishing for in the past several books and Brightwell does it much better than I could have imagined. The concept of his staff and friends helping Witherspoon solve mysteries continues to be a good one as all involved help solve the mystery - including Witherspoon who has learned to listen to his “inner voice”. I also love the setting of Victorian England which is well done by Brightwell. The mystery is my favorite kind of mystery with a victim who was evil, lots of suspects who had reason to want the victim dead, plenty of clues for readers to follow and try to solve the mystery alongside the characters.

“Mrs. Jeffries Rights a Wrong” is another great cozy mystery by Emily Brightwell. ( )
