Mrs. Jeffries & the Mistletoe Mix-Up

Emily Brightwell

Ring in the season with another Mrs. Jeffries tale of holiday homicide.

Inspector Witherspoon is determined to solve the case—preferably before Christmas Eve—but of course he will need some assistance from the always sharp-witted Mrs. Jeffries, who has her own theories on why McCourt had to die by the sword...
