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.

Original Excellent Series

Love this series. Everything about it. Great storylines, likable characters. Excellent narration. Hero them coming please!

The character development was good and kept your interest. Enjoyable to listen to. Easy to follow.

A couple of times I felt it drug out but not enough to not listen or like it overall

Twists and turns

This series is consistently enjoyable, so I was happy that this story was so long. The action rarely slowed, so it was difficult to decide when to take breaks! And the narration was as excellent as in previous stories in the series.
