Description
April 1943. The sleepy English village of Flintfield is woken by an unexpected Luftwaffe bombing raid. Amid the smouldering chaos on the village golf course, a handbag is found in a bunker-and a day later, a young woman's body is discovered, hidden inside a hollow tree.With local police stretched thin, the case falls to Detective Inspector Alex Millington, a wounded war veteran haunted by personal loss. Teaming up with Canadian army surgeon Major Mack MacKinley and the spirited Rose Adams, a sharp-minded widow recently arrived from Blitz-torn London, Alex must untangle a mystery that leads deep into village life-and possibly to the nearby army camp.As clues emerge-a missing handbag, a military badge, whispered gossip-the investigation reveals secrets lurking beneath Flintfield's quiet surface. Who was the woman in the tree? Why was she killed? And is the murderer hiding in plain sight?Rich in atmosphere, wit, and wartime detail, Murder on the 13th is a captivating historical mystery that blends charm and suspense. Perfect for fans of Foyle's War, Agatha Christie, and classic British crime fiction.
