Mrs. Jeffries & The Yuletide Weddings - Plot & Excerpts
Jeffries and the Yuletide Weddings CHAPTER 4 Constable Barnes waited until Ellen Crowe took a seat at the long oak table before pulling out a chair and sitting down. He pulled out his pencil and notebook. “Mrs. Crowe, what did the man who came to the door yesterday look like?” “I wasn’t really paying attention, Constable.
