Today once again Sophia Rose visits the blog with a thoughtful and wonderful review, this time she's reviewing the audio version of Olive Bright Pigeoneer, a novel that is waiting for me on my own shelf so I'm also excited to see what she has to say.

Set in a charming British village during World War II,
Stephanie Graves' new charming historical mystery introduces Olive Bright, a
spirited young pigeon fancier who finds herself at the heart of a baffling
murder...
Though war rages across mainland Europe and London is strafed by German
aircraft, the little village of Pipley in Hertfordshire bustles along much as
it always has. Adrift since her best friend, George, joined the Royal Air
Force, twenty-two-year-old Olive Bright fills her days by helping at her
father's veterinary practice and tending to her beloved racing pigeons.
Desperate to do her bit, Olive hopes that the National Pigeon Service will
enlist Bright Lofts' expertise, and use their highly trained birds to deliver
critical, coded messages for His Majesty's Forces. The strangers who arrive in
Pipley are not from the NPS. Instead, Jameson Aldridge and his associate are
tied to a covert British intelligence organization known as Baker Street. If
Olive wants her pigeons to help the war effort, she must do so in complete
secrecy. Tired of living vicariously through the characters of her beloved
Agatha Christie novels, Olive readily agrees. But in the midst of her
subterfuge, the village of Pipley is dealing with another mystery. Local
busybody Miss Husselbee is found dead outside Olive's pigeon loft. Is the
murder tied to Olive's new assignment? Or did Miss Husselbee finally succeed in
ferreting out a secret shameful enough to kill for? With the gruff, handsome
Jameson as an unlikely ally, Olive intends to find out--but homing in on a
murderer can be a deadly business...
