She keeps house for Inspector Witherspoonâ‚¬Â¦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‚¬ polished detection skills are up to the taskâ‚¬Â¦proving that behind every great man thereâ‚¬s a womanâ‚¬"and that a crimesolverâ‚¬s work is never done.
