For Whom Death Tolls

Lady Elizabeth Hartleigh Compton has enough problems on her hands. Not only is she struggling to upkeep the sprawling Manor House and vast acres she inherited, but she must also take care of her numerous tenants while coping with the inconveniences and sacrifices of England during WWII. Fortunately, Sitting Marsh is far removed from the bombing going on in London and other cities. That doesn’t mean that peace prevails in the tiny village, however. There’s the handsome American major who takes over the Manor House for officers’ quarters, and the group of belligerent housewives determined to take on the German invaders, not to mention a murder or two…



Lady Elizabeth is horrified when the body of an American airman is found hanging from a bell rope in the local church tower. As always, this intrepid sleuth soon finds herself hot on the trail of a murderer, but a missed clue and a formidable killer may very well cost her life.
