Mrs. Jeffries & the Mistletoe Mix-Up (A Victorian Mystery)

KISS OF DEATH

Moments after a high tea is interrupted by a fire in the servants€ hall, art collector Daniel McCourt is found sprawled on the floor of his study under a bundle of mistletoe, his throat slit by the bloody sword lying next to his body. Could the killer be a disgruntled lover, sending a message by murdering McCourt under the mistletoe? Could it be one of his fellow collectors, pointedly using one of McCourt€s own acquisitions to kill him?

Inspector Witherspoon is determined to solve the case€"preferably before Christmas Eve€"but of course he will need some assistance from the always sharp-witted Mrs. Jeffries, who has her own theories on why McCourt had to die by the sword€¦
