Mrs. Jeffries and the Silent Knight (A Victorian Mystery)

Sir George Braxton was found lying face down in a frozen fountain with the back of his skull bashed to bits.Â The case is complicated by a distinct lack of holiday cheer in the victimâ‚¬s three argumentative middle-aged daughters and their sullen houseguests.Â Even the cranky cat hates everyone. To top it all off, the Home Secretary has called in Inspector Witherspoon over the heads of some touchy local lads, making matters stickier than a plum pudding.Â Only the help of his housekeeper, Mrs. Jeffries, and her crime-solving staff will give the poor Inspector any chance of sleeping in heavenly peace on Christmas Eveâ‚¬Â¦
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.
