Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy dual mysteries that weave together historical legends with contemporary investigations.
  • You appreciate humour and heart alongside the crime solving, especially when a Pomeranian steals scenes.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want psychological thrillers or books that lean dark and violent rather than charming.
  • You prefer your mysteries standalone rather than part of an ongoing series with character arcs.
  • You're looking for military procedurals or hard-boiled detective fiction instead of village gossip and cosy charm.

About this book

A young commando trainee is found dead at the ruins of St. Swithin's Abbey in the village of Crofter's Green. The military declares it an accident, but questions arise about the connection to the legend of the Judas Monk—a centuries-old tale of betrayal linked to the abbey. Harry Jenkins and the Homefront Sleuths must investigate the death and uncover wartime deception before the truth is lost. As the investigation progresses, each member of the group faces personal challenges. Evie confronts a threat from a former enemy, while Alice pursues a murder mystery with medieval origins. Harry presses forward despite opposition from a military commander intent on stopping him. Dorothy and Tom manage cottage renovations, and Blake faces significant personal changes. Bonzo the Pomeranian contributes to the detective work in unexpected ways. The Sleuths must navigate military obstacles, hidden tunnels, and village gossip to uncover the truth before serious consequences unfold. The story combines cozy mystery, wartime intrigue, and village life.
