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.
