About this listen

A contested fortune. A missing baby. A dead lawyer who knew too much. Can his replacement avoid the same dark fate?

England, 1952. Lawyer Toby Whitby’s poor eyesight stole his chance to serve his country. When the lawyer’s boss is murdered, Toby inherits the case of a lifetime. But his opportunity to reunite an Earl’s daughter with her kidnapped child is anything but ordinary...

After his search for the child reaches America, the people connected with the case start turning up dead. As the body count rises, Toby realizes there’s far more to his client’s story than she’s willing to share…

Can Toby reunite a family or will his pursuit of the truth get him killed?

Air Raid is an enthralling World War II mystery. If you like aristocratic scheming, dark family secrets, and postwar settings, then you’ll love Eileen Enwright Hodgetts’ captivating tale.

Listen to Air Raid to drop a historical bombshell today!

Critic Reviews

"In this series opener, Hodgetts (Imposter, 2019, etc.) adroitly constructs a labyrinthine plot of the best kind - complexly entangled enough to foil readers' anticipations but not convoluted or impenetrable. In fact, the story races to a stunning conclusion at a relentless pace, a peculiar but artfully plausible tale.... An ingenious crime drama seamlessly woven into the backdrop of post-World War II England." (Kirkus Reviews)

Middle of the road

A story that started strong but finished weaker. The characters were engaging and writing good but the plotline let it down. The story is read by the writer and she is a a much better writer than narrator. I recommend reading the ebook rather than listening to it.
