Elizabeth Harleigh Compton, house rich, money-poor keeper of the manor and the peace. In WWII England, the quiet village of Sitting Marsh is faced with food rations and fear for loved ones. But for the lady of the Manor House it means that she has to make sure things go smoothly, which means everything from sorting out gossup to solving the occasional murder. She has outdone herself this time. She wants to turn a plot of the Manor House lawn into a victory garden for Sitting Marsh villages. But as the community comes together to till the soil and sow the seeds, they discover a gruesome hurdle - the body of oneof her tenants. It's a deep secret buried in a shallow grave. And it's up to Lady Elizabeth to unearth the motive behind the crime.

In short - this is a good, old fashioned mayster with plenty of suspects, clue and red herrings.
