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!

Love the historical facts at the end and the description of war torn London as one who remembers rationing and playing on bomb sites. The story is also good , gently woven around true events.

This continues to be a great cozy mystery series. The twists and turns surrounding the circumstances on our initial body worked well and the character development provides an enjoyable second string. I am now really hoping that book 5 will be available soon.

Interesting story line that builds on the characters from the earlier books in the series, I enjoyed listening to it and would recommend the series.

Great story line

...the Americanisms are so bloody annoying. Also, a village church would be CofE so wokkd not use incense, and it's a Union Flag not a Union Jack. And giving '40s British people American names is just sloppy. The authors should do better. The narrator pronounces some words very weirdly.

I like the stories in this series but...

I have enjoyed this series so far, despite the odd American phrases slipped in here and there.

Another WW2 cozy murder
