It's dangerous in the country. Cosy crime set in a small community in Devon, featuring ex-celebrity antiques dealer Kat Stanford

"Is it a question of turn the other cheek--or an eye for an eye? At last St Mary's church is going to have its own vicar! Not only that, the gorgeous Reverend Pritchard is sixty, single and in need of a wife. But when he spearheads a campaign to restore a derelict chapel-rumoured to be haunted by a German Luftwaffe pilot-in a far-flung corner of the Honeychurch estate, the Dowager Countess puts her foot down. But nobody quite understands why. Meanwhile, a fierce bidding war at an auction of military memorabilia ends in Kat's female adversary being murdered and Kat being held as the prime suspect. And then it turns out that several of the auctioned items are connected to Operation Tiger, a doomed rehearsal for the D-Day landings that took place in nearby Slapton Sands all those years ago. And Kat begins to realise that the vicar, the Luftwaffe ghost and all the World War II weaponry may all somehow be related"--
