This is the first book in this series. It is 1942 and England has been at war for two years, and the little town of Sitting Marsh has been invaded by the 'terrible' Americans who have an air base nearby.

Life is changing for everyone, including the Lady of the Manor when the government tells her she has to take American officers into her home.

It also changes for a 16-year-old girl who is missing. Did the Americans have something to do with the girl's disappearance?

This simple tale is an entertaining mystery. While not quite up to the standards of the great British mystery writers, it is a good book to pass the time of day with. I've already started the second in this series.
