In the sleepy Norfolk village of Lipton St Faith, the locals are getting used to their new rationing books and blackout curtains.

The Second World War has brought much change to Lipton St Faith, as well as handsome Lieutenant Eddie Elsner, on a mission all the way from America. But when one of the villagers is found dead, suddenly the war feels much closer to home...

Detective Inspector Edmund Spillers is quick to declare it an unfortunate accident, but young, spirited Anna Grix is less convinced. After striking up an unlikely friendship with Lieutenant Eddie Elsner, the amateur sleuths are determined to find out what really happened.

If you love murder mysteries by Margaret Mayhew, Faith Martin or Joy Ellis, then this unputdownable novel full of unexpected twists and turns, from the bestselling author of Norfolk cozy crime, will have you hooked!
