Mrs. Jeffries is approached by a French woman who is concerned about a friend who has disappeared. She had appealed to the police, but the owner of the home where her friend was last seen denies that the woman was ever there. Mrs. Jeffries and her co-workers decide to investigate, but before they really get started someone is murdered in the same house and Inspector Witherspoon is assigned to the case. Are the two incidents related, wonders Mrs. Jeffries, and will it be possible to sort through the various lies and deceptions that litter this very complicated case?....The 12th Mrs. Jeffries book is another enjoyable romp through the social worlds of Victorian London, in this case focusing on the art world, complete with artists, fraud show more and very high prices. I had figured out who the culprit was relatively early on, but that didn’t detract from my enjoyment, and it was particularly fun to see how some relationships in the Inspector’s household are developing; recommended. show less
A perfect installment in the Mrs Jefferies series. Formulaic, predictable and thoroughly enjoyable!!!
