Mrs Jeffries Appeals the Verdict [EPUB ebook] 

After a perfectly decent local woman is killed during a robbery, the Witherspoon household receives a surprising visit from a stranger named Blimpey Groggins.

And considering he’s to be hanged in three weeks, Blimpey’s desperate to find the real killer. With the trail cold, the crime allegedly solved, and the evidence mucked up, Mrs. Jeffries and her belowstairs cohorts have their work cut out for them if they want to save an innocent man from the gallows.Praise for the Mrs Jeffries Mysteries:’It’s murder most English all the way!’ The Literary Times’Fascinating murder mystery . . . wit and style . . . a winning series.
