Mrs. Jeffries and the Silent Knight by Emily Brightwell

Come celebrate the season with a discussion of Mrs. Jeffries and the Silent Knight, a wonderful English Victorian cozy.

Sir George Braxton was found lying face down in a frozen fountain with the back of his skull bashed to bits. The case is complicated by a distinct lack of holiday cheer in the victim's three argumentative middle-ageddaughters-and their sullen houseguests. Even the cranky cat hates everyone. To top it all off, the Home Secretary has called in Inspector Witherspoon over the heads of some touchy local lads, making matters stickier than a plum pudding. Only the help of his housekeeper, Mrs. Jeffries, and her crime-solving staff will give the poor Inspector any chance of sleeping in heavenly peace on Christmas Eve.

Special meeting date:   Wednesday, December 17 @ 6:30 p.m., Main Library
