Jumping Jenny by Anthony Berkeley, Martin Edwards (Introduction by)


There is one woman who argues with everyone, tells people what to do and has plenty of enemies.  So it's no big surprise when she shows up dead..

Poisoned Pen Press and Edelweiss let me read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published on January 17th.

She loved attention, and was considered mad by several people.  She talked about suicide.  But when they find her dead, was it suicide or murder?

Those left alive begin telling lies to save her husband.  After a while you are not sure  what the truth is.

You do find out who killed her but the jury said it was suicide.  So it all worked out fine...
