A Report of Murder: A completely addictive historical cozy mystery

Rookie reporter 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. 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. With the local police force, under the utterly irritating but outrageously handsome , stretched to the limit as bombs rain down, Edie strikes out alone. And she quickly discovers more than she'd ever hoped - or feared. From undercover spies to priceless stolen artwork, Edie is plunged headlong into a mystery that stretches from Manchester to Berlin. But when she finds another body in the blackout, Edie realises she's bitten off more than she can chew. With an exasperated Louis finally lending a hand, can Edie unveil the murderer and make headline news, her name in print at last? 'Once I started this, ... reading this book felt .'
