A good Samaritan and a wealthy London widow, Margaret Starling wasn't the sort of woman anyone expected to be murdered. Despite her many good deeds, though, Margaret managed to alienate her neighbor, the reverend at her church, and most of the alms society. But in this 41st investigation (following Mrs. Jeffries Delivers the Goods), Mrs. Jeffries and Inspector Witherspoon know that justice isn't a popularity contest, and they won't rest until they sift through the suspects to catch a sinister scrooge.
