Thomas F. (hardtack) -
I have read all the "Mrs. Jeffries" books, and enjoyed them. But this one seemed to drag. It wasn't quite as interesting as the others. Plus, I had the killer correctly identified at about two-thirds through the book.
From some things in the book, I got the idea this might be the last "Mrs. Jeffries." Brightwell, used to put out one of these every year. But lately there has been a 2-year period between books. This one was published in 2023. That's not to say there won't be another. The Fantastic Fiction site usually lets us know if another is forthcoming on an author's page. But there is nothing on her page to indicate that. Hey, most authors of series, unless they have a thirst for more money, usually reach that stage. Even Arthur Conan Doyle killed off his detective, until his fans MADE him bring 'him' back.
