About this listen

This charming series of Victorian murder mysteries features mild-mannered Inspector Witherspoon of Scotland Yard and, more importantly, Mrs Jeffries, his housekeeper. A policeman's widow herself, her quick wits allow her to nudge the Inspector in the right direction to solve the crime.

Murder strikes at a Jubilee Ball in Queen Victoria's honour, which is also attended by Inspector Witherspoon and Mrs. Jeffries. The victim was a widely disliked member of the Hyde Park Literary Circle, where investigations into the crime open old wounds and reignite petty grievances....

'Aghast, the inspector's jaw dropped even farther. He couldn't believe this. "Lady Cannonberry, have you any idea what you're saying?"'

A problem with Audible special deals is that one is unable to return items bought that way. This is one such where the taste of previous reviewers (just stars and no text) is very different from mine. The cover image describes the book as a "Victorian Murder Mystery" but that's a misrepresentation. It's a modern book whose period authenticity rests on ladies having bustles while the language is limited and thoroughly contemporary. The central conceit is light-hearted or ridiculous according to your taste and the narration is delivered in the voice of a near-hyterical school-girl.
