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!

This is the first book in the series that I have listened to and I found that having a number of experts who combine their efforts to resolve murders was a great idea. However the ending was somewhat of a cliff hanger for me so I was glad to be able to listen to the next book which brought about a satisfactory conclusion.

An Interesting Story from a Tough Era.

Out of the 3 books I’ve read so far in this series, this was my least favourite historical/crime storyline but of course I continue to love these characters and since it finished on such a cliffhanger & with some strong character stories still up in the air I will most certainly continue to keep reading.

Finally one of my fav storylines comes to fruition
