Love is in the air in wartime England—but so is murder.

Crofter’s Green is abuzz with excitement. Seven young couples are preparing to say their vows at a Valentine's Day celebration—an event made even more thrilling by the expected arrival of a very important (and very secret) guest: the most famous woman in the world.

But when the beloved village curate is found dead just days before the ceremony, Harry is called in to investigate what looks suspiciously like murder. Then, in London, Evie and Nigel intercept a Norwegian spy’s cipher—and the dead curate’s name is hidden within it.

As the Homefront Sleuths race to uncover the truth, they're forced to ask: Which of the blushing brides is hiding a deadly secret? And can they stop a plot that could change the course of history—before vows are spoken and lives are lost?

Meanwhile, as love hangs in the air, Evie and Nigel must confront a question that’s far more personal—and one only Valentine’s Day may help them answer.

Packed with charm, suspense, and heart, The Valentine Cipher is a cozy mystery full of romantic twists and wartime secrets that will keep you guessing until the final toast. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Jacqueline Winspear!

Listen now for romance, intrigue, and cozy mystery magic!
