It is the late autumn of 1942. Our indomitable heroine Poppy Redfern is thoroughly immersed in her new job as a scriptwriter at the London Crown Film Unit, which produces short films featuring British civilians who perform acts of valor and heroism in wartime. After weeks of typing copy and sharpening pencils, Poppy is thrilled to receive her first solo script project- a ten-minute film about the Attagirls, and Poppy is enthralled to meet these glamorous wartime heroines. Britain is so overwhelmed by military losses that the Air Transit Auxiliary has been formed to train civilians to pilot fighter and bomber planes from factories to military airfields all over Britain. One hundred and sixty eight of them are women. They are known as the Attagirls, and Poppy couldn' t be more excited to spend time with these amazing ladies. But she never expects to see two of the pilots die in seemingly preventable "accidents. " Poppy and her handsome American fighter pilot Griff believe foul play may be at work and they soon realize that a murderer with a desire for revenge is already looking for a new victim. . . .

Praise for the Woman of World War II Mysteries "Absolutely smashing! Arlen pens a dynamite beginning to a new series, filled with wartime suspense, skillfully wrought emotions, and a liberal dash of romance. Readers will fall in love with clever and quirky Poppy Redfern and the colorful villagers of Little Buffenden, as well as their dashing new neighbors--the American Airmen. "--Anna Lee Huber, bestselling author of the Lady Darby Mysteries "This engaging mystery introduces an intrepid new sleuth in Poppy Redfern and draws us into the lives of a small English village, upturned by war and the unexplained murders of two young women. I was enamored by the story and the residents of Little Buffenden from first page to last. Three cheers for Poppy!"--Shelley Noble, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Me No Questions, A Lady Dunbridge mystery.
