Harriet Klausner April 2010
Two weddings provide the backdrop for Brightwell’s enjoyable 26th Victorian mystery, the first of the series in hardcover, featuring mild-mannered Insp. Gerald Witherspoon and his indomitable housekeeper, Mrs. Jeffries (after Mar. 2009’s Mrs. Jeffries and the Nick of Time). As Christmas approaches, the inspector’s servants are busy preparing for the marriage between Smythe, the coachman, and Betsy, the maid. Meanwhile, Rosemary Evans and her older fiancé, Sir Madison Lowery, are celebrating their impending nuptials with a formal tea, which is interrupted by the discovery of a former governess of Rosemary’s lying dead with a knife in her chest outside the Evanses’ house in a posh London neighborhood. As usual, Mrs. Jeffries and her fellow servants gather and sort through clues while their sometimes dilatory master investigates. Cozy fans will be well satisfied. (Nov.)

Dear Reader,
I am flying to New York next week to meet with my editor at Berkley and with my long-time agent. You might think that this is something that happens regularly but we have published all these books without any such recent face-to-face meetings. All business has been conducted by email, US Postal Service, Fedex, and phone call.
I have been very happy concentrating on writing each and every mystery. Many authors love to travel to promote their books but I think that my time is better spent writing. Is flying fun anymore?
If there is any news about more mysteries in the series following my trip to NY, I will post it here.
Best Wishes,
Emily
