Mrs. Jeffries and the Midwinter Murders by Emily Brightwell


They waited for the lady of the house to come down for dinner.  When she didn't show, they went up to get her.  The door was locked.  Using the spare key, they got in and found her dead on the floor.  At first they thought it was a natural death but no, she had been murdered.

Berkley and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published on the 16th of November.

The inspector for the police does the best job he can trying to find the killer.  Mrs. Jeffries helps him.  There are lots of suspects, money is the reason for the death, and it's hard to identify the killer.

They look into the other sister's death.  It was a year ago and it was thought to be suicide - but it wasn't.

They talk to everyone, look at their pasts and finally Mrs. Jeffries thinks she knows who did it.  When she accuses the killer, he takes a hostage.

Will they be able to save the hostage?
