If you didn’t have a chance to read last week’s fun post on National Tell a Fairy Tale Day, you should go have a look and see if there are any books on the reading list that you would enjoy! Grown-ups like fairies too.
The first of the month means that I am starting writing a new book today. Looking forward to adding onto the Reg Rawlins, Psychic Investigator series!
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.
This week I am reading Mrs. Jeffries in the Nick of Time, by Emily Brightwell. I’ve read a couple other books in the Mrs. Jeffries series (this is book 25 of 40 in the series, so there is plenty for you to binge on! If you enjoy a good British cosy mystery set in Victorian London, then this is a series for you. Mrs. Jeffries is police inspector Witherspoon’s housekeeper, and she and the household staff help to solve the murder cases he is working on and subtly feed him the solutions so that he thinks he solved it himself.
There are plenty of suspects in Mrs. Jeffries in the Nick of Time who were in the house at the moment he was murdered, but unfortunately, they were all together having tea in the same room at the time, so they all have alibis. And so far no one has been able to point to someone who might have been hired by one of the said suspects to do it.
I have a few ideas of my own about who did it and how it was done, but we will have to wait and see whether I am on the right track or not!
“He’s been shot.” Michael’s voice was a shocked whisper.

A two-story killer.
Train enthusiast Francis Humphreys took his last breath while relatives and neighbors visited downstairs. But if everyone was downstairs, who could have stolen into Uncle Francis?s study, killed him, and escaped? Mrs. Jeffries will have to lend her downstairs common sense to this upstairs murder mystery.
