Today I am delighted to be on the blog tour for M.W. Arnold, especially timely on Armistice Day. Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources for inviting me to review.

About The Author

He loves traveling, and the music of the Beach Boys, Queen, Muse, and Bon Jovi. Books play a large part in his life, not only writing, but also reading and reviewing, as well as supporting his many author friends.

He’s the proud keeper of two Romanian Were-Cats bent on world domination, and enjoys the theatre and humoring his Manchester United-supporting wife. Finally, and most importantly, Mick is a full member of the Romantic Novelists Association. I’ll be Home for Christmas will be his third novel with The Wild Rose Press.

I’ll Be Home For Christmas – Broken Wings book 3

A mysterious key left by her murdered sister, leads Air Transport Auxiliary pilot Betty Palmer on a journey of discovery and danger. Given up to an orphanage upon birth, the parents she’s long thought had no part in her life force themselves back in, purely out of greed and self-preservation.

Penny’s life is unexpectedly turned upside down by a potentially life-changing situation, which causes her wounded husband to question their marriage. No-one seems safe in this year of turmoil in the middle years of the war, as some relationships face breaking point whilst others become stronger.

Kidnap, crashes and dogfights, the girls of the Air Transport Auxiliary Mystery have never faced such dangers. To survive may not be enough as they must find the strength to rise above the most trying times yet of their lives.

Review

This is a mystery with quite a difference, it is with the Air Transport Auxiliary, in the middle war years. I haven’t read any of these books before and it is perhaps a good idea to read the previous 2 first in some ways for some of the thread, but at the same time there is a new mystery within the book. There’s friendships and heartbreak within the group and yet a gripping mystery to solve. There’s also a fair amount of action. As the mystery gets deeper, there’s a rise in jeopardy, which is welcome as it adds a bit of pace and edge.

The friendships and the turmoils faced also pulls you in and it’s easy to care about the characters and doesn’t overtake the mystery, but enriches it and creates a full community of people and allows readers to really see their lives unfold as they live through difficulties as conflict is within the friendships, and some unexpected highlights of some friendships growing stronger.

This is a good read that will entertain, absorb and make you want to read more…
