Mrs. Jeffries Turns the Tide (A Victorian Mystery)

Beautiful and new in town, Ellen Langston-Jones doesn€t have any enemies. So, when she€s found dead in the communal gardens, Inspector Witherspoon quickly narrows the field of suspects down to one: Lucius Montague, who was seen threatening Mrs. Langston-Jones shortly before her death.

The Inspector and all of London are positive that he€s the killer, but Mrs. Jeffries has doubts. Her biggest problem is that Lucius Montague is a very disagreeable character and no one€"including Inspector Witherspoon€s staff€"is inclined to save his skin. Now, she must turn the tide of the investigation...or watch an innocent man take the fall for the real killer.
