Anna Elliott and Charles Veley are a father/daughter team who write books! The first in their Homefront Sleuths Mystery series is The Blackout Murders. It is England, 1941. Crofter's Green is a small town, away from London, but blackout orders and curfew are in place, and the local warden is very strict about this, sometimes, maybe too much so. When he is found dead there is little remorse, but they do need to find the murderer. Five locals band together to do this (older, younger, none of them police). They will have to dig into the secrets of the village and those who live there, what will they find? Wonder historical detail.

Late one night, as Megan and Fred (Great Dane) are heading home on a winding road an oncoming car, coming much too fast (she tries to warn the driver) plunges off over the cliff and into the water below. She calls it in but when the EMS folks arrive they find no body in the car. Something is going on, for sure, and Megan wants to learn what. It's a twisted path to the answers, and her trusted friend, partner (and maybe more), Santiago, is acting oddly, what's going on there? Think shady business practices, cover ups, someone who may or may not be dead. Dark Highways & Digging for Clues is the fourth in the Megan Henny Cozy Mystery series by Rimmy London.
