This is the first book in the Edie York mystery series.
With an exasperated Louis finally lending a hand, can Edie unveil the murderer and make headline news, her name in print at last? Or will she be next...? A brilliantly addictive and totally twist-packed cozy historical mystery perfect for fans of Richard Osman and Agatha Christie.
But when she finds another body in the blackout, Edie realises she\'s bitten off more than she can chew.
From undercover spies to priceless stolen artwork, Edie is plunged headlong into a mystery that stretches from Manchester to Berlin.
And she quickly discovers more than she\'d ever hoped - or feared.
With the local police force, under the utterly irritating but outrageously handsome DCI Louis Brennan, stretched to the limit as bombs rain down, Edie strikes out alone.
So when her first real assignment one misty morning ends with the crack of a pistol shot and the sudden death of a Home Guard soldier, she\'s determined to take her chance and investigate.
Rookie reporter Edie York dreams of being out in the field, instead of being stuck writing up the wartime headlines, transcribing Churchill\'s rousing speeches on her cranky typewriter.
But when she stumbles upon the death of a Home Guard soldier she must turn her investigative skills to sleuthing...
Newspaper secretary Edie York wants nothing more than to be a real wartime reporter.
England, 1940
