Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Emily Brightwell was born in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia. Her family moved to Southern California in 1959 and she grew up in Pasadena. After graduating from California State University Fullerton, she decided to work her way around the world and started in England. She didn't get any further because she met future her husband there, got married and moved back to California. While living in Long Beach, she decided to pursue her dream and become a writer - despite having two children and a full-time job. She began the Mrs. Jeffries series in 1993 with "The Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries" and has written forty more mysteries in the series in the following twenty-nine years. Emily has just finished (January 23) writing the next Mrs. Jeffries mystery : "Mrs. Jeffries Aims to Win" to be published in August 2023. Almost all books are available as audio books (unabridged) and most are available in large print format.

Now that her children are grown and have left home - Emily and her husband live in Northern Nevada. Her books are also sold in the United Kingdom, Japan, and Hungary. Emily is a relieved Everton FC supporter, loves Korean TV dramas, and "high altitude" baking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a great cozy series
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2013

Mrs. Jeffries and the house staff of Inspector Gerald Witherspoon of Victorian London are at it again as they try to solve the murder of Sir Edmund Leggett who was killed on his way home from his engagement party. Leggett was to marry Miss Beatrice Parkington, a wealthy young woman who had no love for him and who went through the motions of the engagement party to please her parents, but she had no intention of marrying Sir Edmund Leggett. Edmund had his own reasons for wanting to marry Miss Parkington, and they all had to do with money. Leggett was found the day after the party shot dead, but with little to no evidence at hand. He had been diligent in watching out of his windows ever since a young, pretty woman stood across the street from his home, staring at the house. Wherever he went, she showed up, silent but watching.

Mrs. Jeffries, the housekeeper for Inspector Witherspoon, gathers together the kitchen staff and all the others and on the sly they try to help the Inspector solve the case without him knowing it. Each of the characters is so lovable and so well-developed from book to book that it's like a family reunion opening up a new Mrs. Jeffries mystery each time. There are several suspects and the story goes back and forth from the Inspector's work to Mrs. Jeffries' group and what they learn. It's a delightful story that I enjoyed reading very much.

I'm a bit behind on the series, so I have to catch up because there are a lot of books in this cozy series of mysteries, and I'm definitely looking forward to that.

Cozy mystery lovers should enjoy this series.

Emily Brightwell's Victorian cozy mysteries are great. I never figure out who committed the crime. The narrator, Jennifer Dixon, does a great job. It is easy to picture each character. Each mystery is fun to listen to and read.

I really enjoyed this Mrs. Jeffries mystery. There were a good many suspects, as the victim was hated by a number of people. The ending was very good. As always the Inspector's household was extremely likeable and the setting was great.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful series
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2014

Mrs. Jeffries is my favorite book series. The series takes place in Victorian England. Mrs. Jeffries is the housekeeper to Inspector Witherspoon of Scotland Yard. Mrs. Jeffries and the other members of the household staff, along with a few friends, help Inspector Witherspoon solve murders (without his knowledge).
I have read all of the books in the Mrs. Jeffries series at least twice (some three times). Each book is just as good as the last one, and this is no exception. The books are very well written and they are an easy read. Ms. Brightwell does an excellent job in her descriptions without being too wordy. The books flow very well. I would highly recommend.

Book 19 in the series continues to develop the characters who help the darling inspector. Each book in the series brings a similar approach but very different twist to the mysteries. Keeps me entertained til the end!
