Mrs. Jeffries in the Nick of Time — Emily Brightwell

A MODEL UNCLE

Train enthusiast Francis Humphreys was drawing his last breath while his relatives and neighbors were over for tea. But Inspector Witherspoon wonders: If everyone was downstairs, who could have stolen into Uncle Francis' second-story study, killed him, and escaped? Mrs. Jeffries will have to lend her downstairs common sense to this upstairs murder mystery -- and hope that she and the Inspector don't get derailed...

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.
