When a wealthy widow is murdered, Mrs. Jeffries investigates what happens when money can't buy your life in this all-new installment in the beloved Victorian Mystery series.Margaret Starling wasnt the sort of woman anyone expected to be murdered. She was on the advisory board of the London Angel Alms Society, she was an active member of St. Peters Church, and, best of all, she was always willing to lend a hand to a friend or a neighbor in need of advice. She was also a wealthy upper-class widow. But money alone wont protect you when someone decides its high time you met your maker.Margarets next-door neighbor considered her an odious busybody, the Reverend Reginald Pontefract wished shed never set foot in St. Andrews, and half the advisory board of the London Angel Alms Society heartily hoped shed come down with a case of the gout before the next quarterly meeting.All in all, Margaret wasnt as well regarded as shed always thought she was. But Mrs. Jeffries and Inspector Witherspoon know that justice isnt a popularity contest, and they wont rest until they sift through the suspects to catch a sinister scrooge.
