Summary

Palm Sunday brings spring to Crofter’s Green and a deadly secret.

When a postal van crashes outside the Cozy Cup, Dorothy agrees to hold a registered parcel for the shaken driver. Minutes later, the parcel vanishes and the postman is found murdered.

The only clues are an address in London and a faint cipher that points back to St Mary’s Church.

As Alice, Blake, Harry, and Evie follow the trail, the Homefront Sleuths uncover a chilling wartime plot that could leave the village in ruins. With blackout-darkened church bells, a father’s fate hanging in the balance, and a wedding at risk, they must stop a ruthless local ring before the first bombs fall.

Narrated by the brilliant Iona Campbell, The Saint Mary’s Cipher is a charming, suspenseful wartime cozy mystery filled with clever clues, village warmth, and danger close to home.

This series continues to deliver. An enjoyable visit to WW2 England, and well read. Iona Campbell brings the story to life beautifully.

Fun series and well read

it has been a long journey through WWII ending in this story. Character development and another issue in what should be a quiet country town were easy to accept due to the skill of the authors. A wonderful performance by Iona.

Another great cosy mystery to round out the series.

I love this series of books and this one certainly didn't disappoint. Engaging storyline, cosy mystery feel, along with interesting facts as well as fictional fancy about WWII. I would dearly love it if this series got picked up for a TV series.

Love this Series!
