Love is in the air in wartime England—but so is murder.

Crofter’s Green is abuzz with excitement. Seven young couples are preparing to say their vows at a Valentine's Day celebration—an event made even more thrilling by the expected arrival of a very important (and very secret) guest: the most famous woman in the world.

But when the beloved village curate is found dead just days before the ceremony, Harry is called in to investigate what looks suspiciously like murder. Then, in London, Evie and Nigel intercept a Norwegian spy’s cipher—and the dead curate’s name is hidden within it.

As the Homefront Sleuths race to uncover the truth, they're forced to ask: Which of the blushing brides is hiding a deadly secret? And can they stop a plot that could change the course of history—before vows are spoken and lives are lost?

The other side of spying

have followed this series from book 1. I love how the characters are coalescing and grow. The mystery of the war in England is really interesting as they cope with so many other happenings besides their own survival.

The character development was good and kept your interest. Enjoyable to listen to. Easy to follow.

A couple of times I felt it drug out but not enough to not listen or like it overall
