Mrs. Jeffries Sweeps the Chimney (A Victorian Mystery)

Inspector Witherspoon is perplexed. No one seems to know the identity of the dead man dressed like a vicar and propped up against the outside wall of St. Paulâ‚¬s Church. A paper clutched in the corpseâ‚¬s hand reveals the address of a dilapidated and seemingly abandoned cottageâ‚¬"abandoned if you donâ‚¬t count the human skeleton stuffed in the chimney. To link these two bizarre incidents will take all of the resources at Witherspoonâ‚¬s commandâ‚¬"and a little help from the efficient Mrs. Jeffries.

She keeps house for Inspector Witherspoon . . . and keeps him on his toes. Everyoneâ‚¬s awed by his Scotland Yard successesâ‚¬"but they donâ‚¬t know about his secret weapon. No matter how messy the murder or how dirty the deed, Mrs. Jeffriesâ‚¬s polished detection skills are up to the task, proving that behind every great man thereâ‚¬s a womanâ‚¬"and that a crime-solverâ‚¬s work is never done.
