- Cheryl Lanham was born on 11 October 1948 in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia, USA. Her family moved to Southern California in 1959 and she grew up in Pasadena. After graduating from California State University, she decided to work her way around the world and took off for England. She didn’t get much further because she met Richard James Arguile, the Englishman who became her husband, got married on May 1976, and had two children, Matthew and Amanda. While working in international shipping, she decided to pursue her dream and become a writer – which, of course, is the best job ever. She has written romance novels as Sarah Temple, and Young Adult novels as Cheryl Lanham. As Emily Brightwell, she is the author of the “Mrs. Jeffries” mysteries.

Mrs. Jeffries and the Merry Gentlemen (A Victorian… par Emily Brightwell
Mystery
Book number five in the Victorian Mystery series starring Inspector Gerald Witherspoon and his very capable housekeeper, Mrs Jeffries.
When Inspector Witherspoon agrees to escort Lady Cannonberry to the ball being held at the home of Lucinda Marlowe he doesn’t expect that one of the guests will be murdered right in front of him. Of course, this means that he is the chief investigator, and that his household staff (along with Constable Barnes) will be assisting him, ever so tactfully of course. Victorian London is certainly a hotbed of crime but Mrs Jeffries and her staff are more than up to the task of ferreting out the information to make the Inspector look good when he solves the murder.
This time Mrs Jeffries and the rest of the staff have to also manage their “behind the scenes” investigation while evading Inspector Witherspoon’s cousin, Mrs Livingston-Graves, who is visiting (along with her demon cat). Their efforts to get her out of the way are almost more entertaining than the investigation itself.… (plus d'informations)

I've had this on my shelf since 2005. A Victorian holiday mystery: when Sir George Braxton is found face down in a frozen pond with his head bashed in, Inspector Witherspoon is called in to solve the case. Only the help of his housekeeper, Mrs. Jeffries, and her staff will allow the inspector to have a peaceful Christmas. A fast and fun read along the lines of a Christie mystery. I may now have to read all of them.
Mrs. Jeffries is Inspector Witherspoon’s housekeeper. Witherspoon is currently one of the most successful crime solvers at Scotland Yard. Mrs. Jeffries is the secret weapon behind Witherspoon’s success. So secret that even Witherspoon doesn’t know it!
It’s Christmas, but that doesn’t mean murders stop.
Orlando Edison is a stockbroker dealing in mining ventures and is well known among the “upper crust.” Shortly before Christmas, Edison is found murdered and Witherspoon is given the case.
Even though Mrs. Jeffries and the house staff need to get all preparations done in time for Christmas, they also know Witherspoon will need their assistance.
Between the staff’s ability to gather information from the other household staffs, to investigate and gather information from others in a casual way without their contacts being aware, and Mrs. Jeffries’ filtering it to Witherspoon without him realizing it, the case should be solved before Christmas…they hope.
A fun, cozy series that takes place in Victorian England, with a cast of characters that each have their strengths and secrets, and a plot that keeps moving.… (plus d'informations)
