About this listen

A spy missing. A village full of secrets… and one very persistent Pomeranian.

The peaceful village of Crofter’s Green buzzes with questions when a young commando trainee is found dead at the ruins of St. Swithin’s Abbey. The military calls it an accident—but is it? And what does it have to do with the legend of the Judas Monk, a tale of betrayal that has haunted the abbey for centuries?

Harry Jenkins and the Homefront Sleuths must untangle a web of wartime deception before the truth is buried for good.

As the investigation unfolds, each of the Sleuths has their own challenges to face. Evie faces a new threat from an old enemy, while Alice must find a way to delve into a murder mystery dating back to the middle ages. Harry must press on with his investigation despite a military commander determined to stop him at all costs. Dorothy and Tom are busy with the renovations of their cottage—and Blake… well, let’s just say Blake may have the biggest adjustment of all.

Meanwhile, Bonzo the Pomeranian is about to prove that sometimes the best detective work is done on four paws.

With danger lurking in the shadows and secrets hidden beneath the ruins, Harry and his friends must navigate military red tape, hidden tunnels, and village gossip to uncover the truth—before some very, very serious damage is done.

A delightful mix of cozy mystery, wartime intrigue, and village charm—perfect for fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Carola Dunn, and The Mitford Murders. Scroll up and One-click now!

Oh dear! The narration was weak in terms of pronunciation. Obviously no-one knows how to pronounce words such as ‘inexorable’

Liked the plot and characters, also the historical accuracy

I really have enjoyed the series and about to read the next one as it’s not here yet, but I need to know what happens.
However, I think some story lines could progress somewhat quicker. It took a while for Katherine and Blake to meet. And I think Evie and Nigel could already be that one step further. Just a conversation further at least!
Love it otherwise!!

Captivating but..

I’m enjoying this series, and I think this is the best book so far. It’s easy to follow, well written but not too twee. Nice cliffhanger ending too!

Good easy listen

I loved the whole series and will be looking out for book 5. very easy listening, with humour while stating some of the very real effects of war, for those at home.
