More Than Rumours…
The second Homefront News mystery and rumours abound in the small town of Progress. Irene Ingram, editor of The Progress Herald, needs more than just rumours but, as it happens, she doesn’t have long to wait for a real killer headline. The question is who would want B lister movie star Freddie dead? It turns out that there is a longer list of suspects than Irene could possibly have imagined. With a precisely drawn cast, a well defined sense of time, place and atmosphere and an intriguing mystery at heart, this is wholly enjoyable read and a more than worthy addition to the first in the series,

This is a great book. It’s very well written and entertaining. It read more historical fiction than mystery for me, but I still enjoyed the story. Historical details were spot on and the mystery itself had a few twists and turns that had me guessing until the very end. Highly recommend!!!

Death on a Deadline was a great historical mystery. The book was very well written and it kept me intrigued until the very end.

In this story set in Europe and the Pacific, World War II is underway.

The town of Progress wants to help the soldiers so they organize a county fair only to have it be damped by the murder of Freddie, a B-movie star. As the investigation gets underway, Irene finds that there are multiple suspects

Great story!!
