When a wealthy widow is murdered, Mrs. Jeffries investigates what
happens when money can't buy your life in this all-new installment in
the beloved Victorian Mystery series.
Margaret Starling wasn't the sort of woman anyone expected to be
murdered. She was on the advisory board of the London Angel Alms
Society, she was an active member of St. Peter's Church, and, best of
all, she was always willing to lend a hand to a friend or a neighbor in
need of advice. She was also a wealthy upper-class widow. But money
alone won't protect you when someone decides it's high time you met your
maker.
Margaret's next-door neighbor considered her an odious busybody, the
Reverend Reginald Pontefract wished she'd never set foot in St.
Andrew's, and half the advisory board of the London Angel Alms Society
heartily hoped she'd come down with a case of the gout before the next
quarterly meeting.
All in all, Margaret wasn't as well regarded as she'd always thought she
was. But Mrs. Jeffries and Inspector Witherspoon know that justice isn't
a popularity contest, and they won't rest until they sift through the
suspects to catch a sinister scrooge.
