The war may nearly be over, but danger is ever-present as storms lie aheadEven with peace on the horizon, Met WAAF Jenny Hazleton is as busy as ever. Her keen weather forecasting allows the pilots to continue their missions, including food drops to starving allies and the repatriation of prisoners of war. Navigating many of these missions is Flying Officer Edwin Holland, whose rejection of her advances at Christmas still stings. Edwin is increasingly haunted by his role in the war, including the bombing of Dresden, and Jenny yearns to comfort him. But when he reveals the shocking reason he turned her down, she must decide if their friendship is well and truly over. After a local young woman is found dead under suspicious circumstances, Jenny and Edwin come together to track down the killer. Can they rebuild their friendship and can they ever be more than just friends? Or are the scars of war too deep to truly heal? The dramatic and inspiring finale to the series, perfect for fans of Kate Thompson, Daisy Styles and Soraya M. Lane. Praise for High Hopes for the Bomber Girls 'What an incredible ending!'
