A Homefront Sleuths Cozy Mystery RomanceBy Beatrice Symons
Length8h 37m
About this audiobook
Laleham End, 1942. Ada Pickford keeps the village shop, and she knows every ration book, every household, and every small tidy lie in the parish.
Then the Ministry auditor who has been checking her books is found dead behind her shop - the morning after their argument over tea.
Ada's defence is that she knows every ration book in the village. And someone has been drawing on a book belonging to a dead household. With the Home Guard captain she has argued with for two years at her side, she follows a forger's neat little business into the empty post office - and a confession into a spring she did not expect.
A homefront sleuths mystery with a slow-burn wartime romance at its heart.
