  • of
  • Victorian
  • murder
  • mysteries

  • Inspector
  • Witherspoon
  • of
  • Scotland
  • Yard
  • and,
  • more
  • importantly,
  • Mrs
  • Jeffries,
  • his
  • housekeeper.
  • A
  • policeman's
  • widow
  • herself,
  • her
  • quick
  • wits

  • the
  • right
  • direction
  • to
  • solve
  • the
  • crime.A

  • He
  • finds
  • the

  • Jeffries
  • than
  • the
  • police,
  • and
  • rightly
  • so..."...the
  • body
  • was
  • only
  • found
  • today."
  • Witherspoon
  • paused
  • and
  • took
  • a
  • deep
  • breath.
  • "And
  • the
  • murder
  • was
  • committed
  • several
  • months
  • ago.""Several
  • months
  • ago!"
  • Mrs
  • Jeffries
  • was
  • scandalized.
  • The
  • trail
  • would
  • be
  • colder
  • than
