Christmas 1940: When three London children are evacuated to the countryside during the Second World War, life at the grand Ravenley estate should be a refuge. But nothing could prepare Carol Sinclair for the shadows creeping through her household.

A daring bank robbery leaves a nightwatchman dead, and the children unwittingly hold the key to identifying the gang. Meanwhile, Carol’s husband, Charles, is missing in action, presumed lost behind enemy lines, leaving her heart torn between hope and fear.

As she struggles to protect the orphans in her care, Carol faces a web of intrigue: suspicious neighbours, unscrupulous journalists, and menacing strangers. With the help of Detective, Chief Inspector Clarence ‘Chops’ Hopcroft, she must navigate the dangerous balance between duty, survival, and loyalty.

From the quiet English countryside to the chaos of Exeter under fire, A Carol for the Dead is a gripping murder mystery set in World War Two.
