Death is in the Air (The Manor House Mystery‪)‬

Enthralling mystery, lots of laughter, and a little bit of romance—that's village life in wartime England . . .

When a German pilot bails out into the town square, members of the Housewives League are more intent on salvaging the parachute than capturing the enemy. The pilot escapes, and shortly after, the body of a Land Army girl is discovered. Blame falls on the missing pilot, but Lady Elizabeth believes otherwise and sets out to prove it. Meanwhile, her forbidden attraction to the charming American major, and her attempts to placate the hostility between the Yanks and the Brits complicate her already challenging life.

Lovers of Agatha Christie's books will find much to enjoy in this tale of intrigue and laughter in an English village, and Emily Brightwell fans will fall in love with the offbeat characters of Sitting Marsh.
