After reading the 36th (!) book in the Mrs. Jeffries Mystery series, I went back and found the first: The Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries, by Emily Brightwell. What fun it was the meet all the characters for the first time and discover just how Mrs. Jeffries and her house staff came to help Inspector Witherspoon with his cases. A local doctor has been found dead at his desk. It looks like the result of an accident with mushrooms, but is it? I quite enjoyed how Mrs. Jeffries guides her employer to the correct answer. Clever and fun!

Aunt Bessie's best friend, Doona, has won a week at an English holiday park and asks Bessie to join her. Since it's a family park, which means lots of children, Bessie wasn't sure it'd be all that restful. And it wasn't, but it wasn't because of the kids! Doona's ex-husband shows up, and then is found dead. You can guess who the prime suspect is, and Bessie gets to work clearing her friend. Aunt Bessie's Holiday is the next in the Isle of Man Cozy Mystery Series by Diana Xarissa.
