Description
The start of an exciting new World War II historical mystery series featuring charming, quirky Air Raid Warden Poppy Redfern.
Charming and feisty Poppy Redfern stumbles into murder in this exciting new World War II historical mystery series from critically acclaimed USA Today bestselling author Tessa Arlen.
Summer 1942. The world has been at war for three long and desperate years. In the remote English village of Little Buffenden, Poppy Redfern's family house and farmland have been requisitioned by the War Office as a new airfield for the American Air Force. As the village's Air Raid Warden, Poppy spends her nights patrolling the village as she tries to ease her neighbours' fears about the "Friendly Invasion" and what it means to their quiet way of life.
When two young, popular women who were dating American servicemen are found strangled, Poppy quickly realises that her little town has been divided by murder. The mistrust and suspicion of their new American partners in war threaten to tear Little Buffenden apart. Poppy decides to start her own investigation with the help of a charismatic American pilot, and she soon unearths some chilling secrets and long-held grudges. Poppy will have no choice but to lay a trap for a killer so perilously close to home, she might very well become the next victim.
Poppy Redfern and the Midnight Murders is an unmissable start to a compelling series where vibrant characters and gripping plots make each twist and turn a delight.
