Michael Provost lived a quiet life, yet this successful owner of a
medical supply company was spotted floating facedown off the Chelsea
Vestry Wharf. His servants adored him, and he had no greedy relatives or
business rivals--who would ever want him dead? Luckily for Inspector
Gerald Witherspoon, Mrs. Jeffries and her staff are always ready to dive
into an investigation, and their combined efforts soon lead to a
connection with an earlier crime. Was Provost himself sleuthing when he
was horrifically interrupted? And could the same fate befall Inspector
Witherspoon?
She keeps house for Inspector Witherspoon...and keeps him on his toes.
Everyone's awed by his Scotland Yard successes--but they don't know
about his secret weapon. No matter how messy the murder or how dirty the
deed, Mrs. Jeffries's polished detection skills are up to the
task...proving that behind every great man there's a woman--and that a
crime solver's work is never done.
