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’ polished detection skills are up to the
task...proving that behind every great man there’s a woman—
and that a crimesolver’s work is never done.
When the general office manager of Sutcliffe Manufacturing
is murdered, no one is really surprised. Ronald Dearman
was anything but a dear man. The tyrannical bully had more
than enough enemies to go around. But who hated him enough
to walk into his office and put a bullet between his eyes?
For once, Inspector Gerald Witherspoon doesn't get the
case; it's given to another inspector. Then someone from
Mrs. Jeffries' past—someone she'd hoped to never see again—
shows up and begs for her help. Now Mrs. Jeffries must
step into the fray and stop a terrible miscarriage of
justice…
