Orlando Edison is a stockbroker using London’s infatuation with foreign mining ventures to make a fortune. He has curried favor with the nation’s most respected aristocrats, even inviting three influential investors—known as the Merry Gentlemen—to be part of his latest enterprise. Edison is welcomed in the highest circles and moves with ease among the rich and powerful. But a few days before Christmas, he is found murdered.

Inspector Witherspoon and his household are looking forward to the festive season. But they all know their duty, and led by the intrepid Mrs. Jeffries, they plan to see justice served for the holidays . . .

A belated birthday gift. Hope you like it!

I love mysteries and look forward to reading this one, especially since it is a Christmas one.

This was the first book I've read by this author and I must admit that I had a hard time keeping track of the various characters and what their relationships were to each other. It really pays to start a series from the beginning so everything makes sense. Still, I enjoyed the plot.

I left the book on a bench just as you walk into the restaurant.
