Mr. Marks' housekeeper is a drunk, lazy and a gossip. She seems to have adored Mrs. Marks who had money and status. Why a lovely woman married a loser like Mr. Marks I don't know. The point of the gossip is that Miss Fairfax as was had money. Lots of it. Could one of her family members have it out for Marks? She also names a Stephen Mueller, who Mr. Marks cheated in business.

In “ Mrs. Jeffries On the Trail,” a young flower girl is murdered on a foggy night in a deserted post-riot street. Inspector Witherspoon seeks Mrs. Jeffries’ exceptional detection skills to solve the mystery. Mrs. Jeffries Plays the Cook This is my go-to light cozy who-done-it so after a couple of really heavy reads and a bit of upheaval in real life “Mrs. Jeffries Aims to Win” it is.This is a "cosy" in the real sense of the genre term: a highly unbelievable domesticated premise, a large cast of two dimensional stereotypes. Wiggins's repeated "cor blimey" was especially irritating raising the spectre of VanDyke's hideous accent in Disney's "Mary Poppins"...good lord. The plot here becomes so complicated you'd need algorithms or charts to follow the many unnecessary details only to discover that 90% is just there to obscure a fairly plain solution. Finally all this is wrapped up in a singularly undistinguished but adequate style. Once again. Inspector Gerald Witherspoon’s household staff aid him in coming to the right conclusions and solving the murder of American miner Jake Randall. Found floating in the Thames, shot through the heart. Jake had been sold shares in a Colorado silver mine, but his primary investors Ruston Benfield, miserly John Cubberly married to a rich wife, gambler Edward Dillingham and investment advisor Lester Hinkleton, realized their money wasn’t going to by mining equipment or hiring men to work he mines and planned to confront Jake Randall, but he hadn’t shown up for the meeting. Inspector Nivens has recused himself because he has a small investment in the Randall and Watson Mining Company. The problem is who drie it. There are too many suspects, no evidence, insufficient alibis, leaving Inspector Witherspoon befuddled and Constable Barnes trying to make forward progress.
