Mrs. Jeffries on the Trail by Emily Brightwell

THE SEEDS OF MURDER
Nobody was walking the streets of London at night after that afternoon's riots. And flower sellers usually did their best business early in the evening. So why was Annie Shields out selling flowers at ten o'clock on one of the foggiest nights of the year? And who killed her? It all adds up to the inspector's most baffling case yet. He hasn't a clue how to proceed--but he does have Mrs. Jeffries. And when she and the staff go sniffing around, they're likely to smell more than flowers...

IS THERE A DETECTIVE IN THE HOUS
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's polished detection skills are up to the task ... proving that behind every great man there's a woman--and that a crime-solver's work is never done.
