The Blackout Murders: A Homefront Sleuths Cozy Mystery (The Homefront Sleuths Cozy Mystery Series)

Five friends, one sleepy village, and a mystery brimming with dark secrets. England, 1941. The tranquil village of Crofter’s Green seems like a haven from the chaos of wartime. But when a local air raid warden is found dead in the village churchyard, five villagers--some getting on in years and none of them policemen--decide they need to uncover the truth. Introducing the Homefront Sleuths: Evie Harris, a newly arrived tea shop owner, seeking a fresh start after losing her husband. Alice Greenleaf, the village herbalist, who has her own quiet strength and wisdom. Blake Collins, a war-wounded schoolteacher, struggling with the scars of battle. Harry Jenkins, a sharp-eyed retired detective from London, who thought his sleuthing days were over. Dotty Baker, a resourceful young mother, juggling the demands of wartime life. Together, they will form a close-knit circle, a found family in a world turned upside down. As they dig into the village’s secrets, they uncover more than just the identity of a killer—they discover the power of friendship and community in the face of adversity. But can they solve the mystery before the shadows of war claim another victim, and will Evie discover her inner culinary capabilities? The Blackout Murders is a heartwarming, suspenseful tale perfect for cozy historical mystery fans.
