Mrs. Jeffries Forges Ahead

Description for MRS. JEFFRIES FORGES AHEAD by Emily Brightwell:

PRETTY DEAD

The marriageable daughters of the upper crust howl in outrage when the rich and handsome Lewis Banfield marries an artist's model. But Arlette Montrose Banfield is more than a pretty face; she's an intelligent and free-spirited modern woman. But not everyone approves of a modern woman. At the Banfield ball, someone poisons the new bride's champagne. Her husband is devastated as are her devoted family and friends. Inspector Witherspoon is on the case, but it's a tough one to crack. Luckily, Mrs. Jeffries and the household don't mind getting their hands a little dirty in order to uncover the web of hatred, greed, and envy behind her murder...

A Mrs. Jeffries Mystery
She keeps house for Inspector Witherspoon...and keeps him on his toes. Everyone's awed by his Scotland Yard successes -- but they don't know about his secret weapon. No matter how messy the murder or how dirty the deed, Mrs. Jeffries' polished detection skills are up to the task...proving that behind every great man there's a woman -- and that a crimesolver's work is never done.

This is #28 in A Victorian Mystery.
