Harriet Andover had no intention of dying young like her silly siblings had. She intended to outlive them and outdo them as she always had. But Harriet discovers that the best intentions can lead to murder when she is strangled inside her mansion with a house full of holiday guests. As much as Inspector Witherspoon enjoys his job delivering justice, the last thing he wanted was a complicated murder case just a week before Christmas. He soon discovers that Harriet's own husband and grown stepchildren are not overcome with grief and neither are most of her friends. And to put the icing on the Christmas cookies, the room where Harriet's body was found was locked from the inside and she had the only key in her pocket. Mrs. Jeffries and the household have no intention of letting their inspector down and learn that Harriet's sister may have died from foul play as well. As the clues mount, this dedicated band of merry sleuths will not rest until they've delivered a stocking full of coal to a crafty killer"--|cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Jeffries, Mrs. (Fictitious character)|vFiction. 650 0 Witherspoon, Gerald (Fictitious character)|vFiction. 650 0 Women household employees|vFiction. 650 0 Police|vFiction. 650 0 Murder|xInvestigation|vFiction. 655 7 Historical fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Christmas fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Mystery fiction.|2gsafd 830 0 Victorian mysteries ;|v[40].
