Five unlikely friends. One quaint village. A killer hiding among them. It’s 1941, and the village of Crofter’s Green has grown quiet since the Cozy Cup tea shop closed its doors. But when Evie Harris—granddaughter of the shop’s late owner—returns to the village, gossip swirls about her exploits as a London air raid warden. Could she reopen the Cozy Cup? Or is she back for good? Before anyone can find out, the local air raid warden turns up dead, and the village is left reeling. With the police preoccupied by the war, Evie and four eccentric neighbors form an unlikely team to solve the Alice A sharp-tongued herbalist who sees everything. Blake A schoolteacher whose wit is as sharp as his mind. Harry A retired detective called back into the game. Dotty Baker: A nosy mum with instincts sharper than her sewing needles. Together, they uncover secrets that could shatter their little village—and reveal a killer hiding in plain sight.
