Palm Sunday brings spring to Crofter’s Green and a deadly secret.

When a postal van crashes outside the Cozy Cup, Dorothy agrees to hold a registered parcel for the shaken driver. Minutes later, the parcel vanishes and the postman is found murdered.

The only clues are an address in London and a faint cipher that points back to St Mary’s Church.

As Alice, Blake, Harry, and Evie follow the trail, the Homefront Sleuths uncover a chilling wartime plot that could leave the village in ruins. With blackout-darkened church bells, a father’s fate hanging in the balance, and a wedding at risk, they must stop a ruthless local ring before the first bombs fall.

Narrated by the brilliant Iona Campbell, The Saint Mary’s Cipher is a charming, suspenseful wartime cozy mystery filled with clever clues, village warmth, and danger close to home.

I’ve really enjoyed all of these books and will listen to them again. I love all the characters and found myself really rooting for them when they were in tight spots. The insight into war time Britain woven into the stories is fascinating and the plots are fast and compelling. Iona’s narration really brings everything to life and indeed I think I would listen to anything she read. Well done and thank you to everyone for creating this brilliant audiobook

The story conjures warmth and old fashioned camaraderie despite or perhaps because of the harsh conditions and stressful circumstances of the Second World War.
