The Celluloid Sentry  (Homefront Sleuths, #10)The Celluloid Sentry by Anna Elliott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

June 1942 Crofter's Green is invaded by a film crew to produce a patriotic war film, with security provided by the Home Guard. Meanwhile Nigel is given the task to go undercover and infiltrate a fifth columnists group. But the Homefront Sleuths become suspicious of various film members, and investigate, but a murder occurs.
An entertaining and well-written historical mystery with its cast of likeable and interesting characters. Another good addition in this enjoyable series.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
