I am so excited to be welcoming M W Arnold back to Novel Kicks. He’s here with the blog tour for his new novel, In the Mood. 

During a hectic couple of weeks in February 1944, the girls of the Air Transport Auxiliary Mystery Club must face devastating personal loss amongst their number. A member of an illegal faction blackmails Betty, whilst a mystery at Mary’s ancestral home threatens to cause more trouble than anyone thought possible.

In the midst of what should be the happiest of times, the portents seem to be catching up and little is what it seems to be.

Can the girls find the strength to battle forces both internal and external, yet still maintain their dignity and friendship?
