The Ghost And Mrs. Jeffries (1993)
“Jeffries CHAPTER 3 “What did you think of Mrs. Popejoy, sir?” Constable Barnes asked as he and the inspector hurried down Camden Street to the Hodges house. “Not one for hidin’ her light under a bushel, is she?”

He absolutely refused to allow himself to be sidetracked into thinking this crime was a complicated murder plot when everything, including the coroner’s inquest, clearly showed it to be a simple robbery with very tragic results.MoreLess
