The Wedding Eve Murders (Homefront Sleuths #12) Release Date: October 15, 2026

Coming Soon

Book 12 in the beloved Homefront Sleuths series—perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Rhys Bowen, and Foyle’s War.

You are cordially invited to the wedding of
MISS EVIE HARRIS and INSPECTOR NIGEL BREWSTER
St. Mary’s Church, Crofter’s Green
Saturday, the 5th of September, 1942
(Weather, rationing, and one inconvenient murder permitting.)

Ten days before the ceremony, a party of Norwegian commandos arrives at a secret training estate outside Crofter’s Green. Their coming mission is so closely guarded that even the men themselves have not been told its target.

Then, on the eve of the wedding, their finest climber falls to his death during a midnight exercise.

The men from London call it an accident. Mr. Brown knows it was murder.

Someone is trying to discover where the commandos are being sent—and unless Evie, Nigel, and the Homefront Sleuths find the killer, the entire team may be flying straight into an enemy trap. The wedding must wait.

Suspicion falls on the silent men behind the estate’s wire, each sworn to secrecy and each concealing something. It falls even more heavily on Enzo Moretti, the young Italian prisoner of war seen near the grounds after curfew. He refuses to explain what he was doing there, and the village is certain he is guilty.

Alice Greenleaf is certain of something else entirely.

As the Sleuths untangle divided loyalties, coded warnings, and clues protected as state secrets, they discover that the murder is connected to the adversary who has always escaped them: the German spymaster known as Beckett.

This time, they mean to stop him before he learns the commandos’ target—and before more brave men are sent to their deaths.

The wedding has been postponed. The reckoning with Beckett has not.

Warm, twist-filled, and clue-fair, The Wedding Eve Murders offers village friendships, wartime secrets, a satisfying solution, and a wedding worth waiting twelve books for. It can be enjoyed on its own and includes the authors’ historical notes.
