Über diesen Titel
Spies, secrets, and a splash of tea—another mission for the Homefront Sleuths!
England, 1941: When a factory security guard dies under suspicious circumstances and a Spitfire test flight ends in disaster, the quiet village of Crofter’s Green is abuzz with questions. With the local police stretched thin by the war effort, it’s up to the
*Homefront Sleuths
* to uncover the truth.
Leading the charge is Evie Harris, village tea shop owner and amateur detective, who bravely goes undercover at the aircraft factory—despite a cryptic warning from a shadowy German spy. Watching out for her are:
Harry Jenkins – A retired detective with a sharp eye for trouble.
Alice Greenleaf – A no-nonsense herbalist with a knack for noticing what others miss.
Blake Collins – A clever schoolteacher who sees patterns no one else does.
Dorothy Baker – A quick-witted young mother whose instincts never fail.
As they untangle a web of sabotage and secrets, another worker turns up dead. Can they uncover the saboteur before disaster strikes again?
The Spitfire Murders is a heartwarming historical cozy mystery, brimming with intrigue, camaraderie, and wartime resilience.

Too monotenous. I nearly dropped out of the series. Gave it another go, and here I am with the third installment! And I cannot wait to start the next one.
Why the change of mind?
First of all, the characters are very likeable, every one and all.
Secondly, I love how the chapters are all titled by the character "in charge". That is so valuable for an audio book I listen to mainly in my car - I know right away where I am.
Thirdly, I believe there is a sweet love story developing. We are holding our breath.
I love Cozies set in the era - didn't disappoint

A detective/spy story should at least to some degree give us a plot that is either intriguing or realistic. Ideally - and 1941 England would be an prime playground - it also whisks us away into a foreign land where people and their lives are beautifully different. Crofters Green is named like an Agatha Christie style idyll with mm urder lurking under the surface, but what a flat atmosphere we are brought into here!
Characters are one-dimensional, villains look villainous, heros are beavely battling on with their amputated legs, wonderful dads, redeemed by loving wives.
The plot is predictable, no surprising twists and turns, all utterly and unrealistically fantastic. A trivial dime-novel.
The reading I found rather monotonous and the voice a bit too grating.
Maybe I came with the wrong expectations.
Predictable and trivial
