Mrs. Jeffries must help Inspector Witherspoon
crack a new case and catch a killer in this next installment
of the beloved Victorian Mystery series.
Successful businessman Jeremy Marks wasn’t highly
regarded by any of the members of the West London Archery
Club. Most of them considered him a buffoon and a
bore. But everyone was stunned when the fellow was
murdered during a lull in the club’s annual archery
competition. He’d been shot with arrows from a
longbow during a raging thunderstorm.
But those
who knew Marks well understood that the unkempt "court
jester" persona adopted by the late, unlamented man was as
fake as the smile he wore. As Inspector Witherspoon
investigates the murder, he discovers the victim had real
enemies among the assembled archery contestants. Marks
was notorious for not paying his bills, cheating vendors,
bad-mouthing business rivals, and worst of all, betraying
his business partners. The dead man had built a whole
career and amassed quite a substantial fortune by harming
those who trusted him. It will take Mrs. Jeffries and the
inspector’s household as well as their friends to sort
out fact from fiction and target a killer.
