Perfect for you if...

  • You love wartime mysteries with a ensemble cast where each character brings genuine skills to the puzzle.
  • You enjoy cosy mysteries that don't skimp on actual stakes and danger alongside the smaller-scale sleuthing.
  • You appreciate female characters like Evie who are curious and brave enough to go undercover despite real threats.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want gritty, dark procedurals with professional detectives doing the heavy lifting in forensic labs.
  • You're looking for high-octane spy thrillers where international intrigue dominates over local investigation.
  • You prefer standalone mysteries rather than series where you need to know the earlier books to follow the team dynamics.

About this book

England, 1941: A factory security guard dies under mysterious circumstances in the village of Crafter's Green, followed by a Spitfire test flight that ends in disaster. The local police, constrained by wartime priorities, cannot investigate further, but the Homefront Sleuths are ready to intervene. Retired detective Harry Jenkins leads the team, supported by Evie Harris, a tea shop owner who goes undercover at the factory despite a warning from a German spy. Alice Greenleaf, an observant herbalist; Blake Collins, a schoolteacher with a war-wounded leg; and Dotty Baker, a quick-witted young mother, complete the sleuthing team. Following a trail of sabotage and suspicion across the factory floor and test flights, the group investigates the circumstances surrounding both deaths. When another worker dies, the stakes intensify. The sleuths must identify the saboteur before further disaster occurs.
