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 wasnβt 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. Peterβs 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 wonβt protect you when someone decides itβs high time you met your maker. Β Margaretβs next-door neighbor considered her an odious busybody, the Reverend Reginald Pontefract wished sheβd never set foot in St. Peterβs, and half the advisory board of the London Angel Alms Society heartily hoped sheβd come down with pneumonia before the next quarterly meeting. Β All in all, Margaret wasnβt as well regarded as sheβd always thought she was. But Mrs. Jeffries and Inspector Witherspoon know that justice isnβt a popularity contest, and they wonβt rest until they sift through the suspects to catch a sinister scrooge.
