The Homefront Sleuths Cozy Mystery series launched in 2024 with The Blackout Murders and has expanded rapidly to nine books through 2026. The series is set during World War II Britain, using the unique conditions of wartime, blackouts, rationing, and social upheaval, as the backdrop for murder investigations.
Titles like The Spitfire Murders, The Harvest Festival Murders, and The Scrooge Conspiracy evoke both the period setting and the cozy mystery tradition of murders at social events. The series represents Veley’s most recent project and shows his continued interest in historical mystery, moving from Victorian London to 1940s Britain.
