It was true. Hannah Cameron was not well liked. But were her friends or family the sort to stab her in the back? To almost everyone, the answer is clear: she was killed by a burglar. And since Inspector Witherspoon is not a burglary detective, he has to take a backseat to the odious Inspector Nivens! Mrs Jeffries and the rest of the household must really tiptoe around this time. And if they're not extra careful, it could be a matter of more bodies piling up before they're done!
