Summary
November 1940. Darkness descends, and another anxious night begins for those tasked with guarding the industrial heartland of London from enemy attack. As a policeman patrols the Royal Albert Dock, something catches his eye - a man is sprawled awkwardly across a nearby barge, a dagger lodged in his back. Detective Inspector John Jago of West Ham CID discovers the victim was a dock worker by day and a Home Guard volunteer by night - and there are things even his wife doesn't know about his past. As the investigation unfolds, Jago uncovers a widening circle of secrets ranging across family tensions, the last war and a far-flung corner of the British Empire.

Excellent
I’ve given this 5 Stars and it deserves it -
Love the characters who walk you down the lanes of history in a very human way.
The story is sad, troubling and comforting but still manages to twist and turn. Definitely worth one of you credits!

I'm really enjoying this series . . .
. . . and for me, the stories get better as the series proceeds. "The docklands murder" seemed very well crafted plotwise with sythpathetic and believable characters who I find are am beginning to care about. If, like me, you are looking for a murder mystery that does not involve getting into the mindset of a twisted psychopath, then I would thoroughly recommend The Blitz Detective series.

Changed me to a reader of Novels
Have always been a reader of factual history books but for some reason fancied a change.
Therefore chose this series of books for obvious reasons and now I’m hooked as these simply captivated me.
Sadly I have just downloaded the last in the series but
hoping another is pending ?

Excellent
Another great story in this series, with period details and social mores which aid the plot and add to interest without being obtrusive. Fantastic narrator with a very believable set of 'voices'.

Love it.
Simon Mattocks brings these characters to life, I love his narration, I could be in the war time streets watching the story unfold. The author has certainly captured the essence of the time, in the Eastend. I hope there will be more stories in the future x
