THE DEAD WOMAN OF DEPTFORD is the sixth Inspector Ben Ross mystery
set in Victorian London by much-loved crime writer Ann Granger. On
a cold November night in a Deptford yard, dock worker Harry Parker
stumbles upon the body of a dead woman. Inspector Ben Ross is
summoned from Scotland Yard to this insalubrious part of town, but
no witness to the murder of this well-dressed, middle-aged woman
can be found. Even Jeb Fisher, the local rag-and-bone man, swears
he's seen nothing. Meanwhile, Ben's wife Lizzie is trying to
suppress a scandal: family friend Edgar Wellings has a gambling
addiction and no means of repaying his debts. Reluctantly, Lizzie
agrees to visit his debt collector's house in Deptford, but when
she arrives she finds her husband is investigating the murder of
the woman in question. Edgar was the last man to see Mrs Clifford
alive and he has good reason to want her dead, but Ben and Lizzie
both know that a case like this is rarely as simple as it
appears...
