Death is in the Air
The first book in the fabulous Manor House Mystery Series by Kate Kingsbury, the bestselling author of the Pennyfoot Hotel Mysteries!
Enthralling mystery, lots of laughter and a little bit of romance – that's village life in wartime England....
Left with only a muddle-headed butler, a bossy cook/housekeeper and a couple of energetic maids, 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, she must also take care of her numerous tenants, while coping with the inconveniences and sacrifices of wartime England. 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. 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...
DEATH IS IN THE AIR
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.
