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 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, 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…

Having endured five years of sacrifices, threatened invasions, and possible bombing raids, the villagers of Sitting Marsh are excited about the chance to let down their hair at an upcoming wedding. The reception is in full swing when an uninvited guest is found murdered, and Elizabeth is obligated to investigate. Now, the race is on to find the killer before an innocent man is charged with the crime.
