Publisher Description

Spies, secrets, and a splash of tea—another mission for the Homefront Sleuths!

England, 1941: When a factory security guard dies under suspicious circumstances and a Spitfire test flight ends in disaster, the quiet village of Crofter's Green is abuzz with questions. With the local police stretched thin by the war effort, it's up to the Homefront Sleuths to uncover the truth.

Leading the charge is Evie Harris, village tea shop owner and amateur detective, who bravely goes undercover at the aircraft factory—despite a cryptic warning from a shadowy German spy. Watching out for her are Harry Jenkins, a retired detective with a sharp eye for trouble; Alice Greenleaf, a no-nonsense herbalist with a knack for noticing what others miss; Blake Collins, a clever schoolteacher who sees patterns no one else does; and Dorothy Baker, a quick-witted young mother whose instincts never fail.

As they untangle a web of sabotage and secrets, another worker turns up dead. Can they uncover the saboteur before disaster strikes again?

The Spitfire Murders is a heartwarming historical cozy mystery, brimming with intrigue, camaraderie, and wartime resilience. Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Rhys Bowen, and Carola Dunn!
