The first three books in the series conveniently put together in one place, this is a really enjoyable "cozy mystery" series set in Victorian London. It's especially good for those who are new to the "cozy" genre.

It includes: The Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries, Mrs. Jeffries Dusts for Clues, and The Ghost and Mrs. Jeffries.

Each of these stories is a gentle, yet lively and entertaining read that draws you in with quirky and lovable main characters, villains and suspects you'll love to hate, and interesting plot twists. It often proves a bit of a challenge in figuring out the "whodunnit" and "how" until the last chapter--or even the last few pages!

I've read many books in the series, and I've found that I don't really need to read them in order to follow the stories, although it's helpful--and more fun that way! Most of the books stand on their own, yet also make me want to find out what happened to the characters before in more detail, and definitely what happens to them next!
