A charming Victorian murder mystery featuring mild-mannered Inspector Witherspoon of Scotland Yard and, more importantly, Mrs Jeffries, his housekeeper. Harrison Nye may have been involved in some dubious business dealings, but no one ever expected him to be murdered. Now Inspector Witherspoon must root out the perpetrator of the underhanded deed.

Now, Mrs. Jeffries and her staff must root through the sins of Nye's past to discover which one caught up with him...
