The Blackout Murders
About
The award-winning #1 Amazon bestselling mystery series!
Five unlikely friends. One quaint village. But there’s something in the shadows.
It’s 1941, and the village of Crofter’s Green has grown quiet since the Cozy Cup tea shop closed its doors. But when Evie Harris—granddaughter of the shop’s late owner—returns to the village, gossip swirls about her exploits as a London air raid warden. Could she reopen the Cozy Cup? Is she back for good?
Before anyone can find out, the local air raid warden turns up dead, and the village is left reeling. With the police preoccupied by the war, Evie and four eccentric neighbors form an unlikely team to solve the crime:
- Alice Greenleaf: A sharp-tongued herbalist who sees everything.
- Blake Collins: A schoolteacher whose wit is as sharp as his mind.
- Harry Jenkins: A retired detective called back into the game.
- Dotty Baker: A nosy mum with instincts sharper than her sewing needles.
Together, they uncover secrets that could shatter their little village—and reveal a killer hiding in plain sight.
As the first entry in the Homefront Sleuths series, this clean historical whodunit is a love letter to Golden Age detective fiction. If you enjoy the village charm of Agatha Christie and the atmospheric tension of Foyle's War, this 1940s British mystery is your perfect escape. Join a cast of five unlikely friends as they prove that even in England’s darkest hour, the light of the truth still shines.
