Fiction. Mystery. Historical Fiction. HTML:Meet Elizabeth Hartleigh Compton. She's the house-rich, money-poor keeper of the Manorâ??and keeper of the peace.
In WWII England, the quiet village of Sitting Marsh is faced with food rations and fear for loved ones. But Elizabeth Hartleigh Compton, lady of the Manor House, stubbornly insists that life must go on. Sitting Marsh residents depend on Elizabeth to make sure things go smoothly. Which means everything from sorting out gossip to solving the occasional murder.

"Dangerous Enemy on the Loose!" read the newspaper headlines. When a German pilot crash-lands and escapes into the nearby woods, locals are in a panic. But Lady Elizabeth caught a good glimpse of the fellow as he parachuted down, and he seemed nothing more than a harmless, terrified young boy. Until a local girl is found murdered the very day he disappears. Coincidence? The constable thinks not. But Elizabeth suspects everyone's jumping to conclusions. And once again, she's in the thick of a murderous muddle, combing for clues and searching for answers before more trouble ignit

The books in this series are quick, easy, reads. They are even quicker as re-reads. I picked this one up after a day of house-cleaning and gardening, thinking "I'll read this until I'm ready to fall asleep" and was then surprised to find I'd finished the book.

Lady Elizabeth is much less eye-rollingly nose-in-the-air in this second book. She's trying to find ways to assist the British Army and the American Air Force recruits find common ground with each other, instead of getting drunk and beating the crap out of each other. She's also doing her best to find the murderer of a land girl as well as a German bomber pilot that crash landed in the village and is evading arrest (or lynching by the village housewives).

The mystery is light, the characters likeable, but the setting of WWII England is what really sucks me in. The chemistry between Lady Elizabeth and Colonel Monroe has a strong pull on me as well. The tension between these two is delicious, and I'm looking forward to watching these two over the course of the series, all over again. ( )
