A Wing and a Prayer
(2020)(The first book in the Air Transport Auxiliary Club Mystery series)
A novel by M W Arnold
When Betty Palmer's sister dies under suspicious circumstances whilst landing her Tiger Moth, Betty and three other women pilots of the Air Transport Auxiliary in WWII England unite to discover who killed her and why.
Estranged from her family, Penny Blake wants simply to belong. American Doris Winter, running from a personal tragedy, yearns for a new start. Naturally shy Mary Whitworth-Baines struggles to fit in. Together though, they are a force to be reckoned with as they face the mystery that confronts them.
Against the backdrop of war, when ties of friendship are exceptionally strong, they strive to unravel the puzzle's complex threads, risking their lives as they seek justice for Betty's sister.
I felt as though I was part of the story myself and that’s down to the author’s very vivid and realistic storytelling. Ginger Book Geek blog – Top 1000 Reviewer
Reading M W Arnold has somehow restored my faith in my fellow humans and shown me that we can succeed if we work together and this is a much needed message in today’s world. A Wing and a Prayer is super stuff. It’s entertaining, warm and engaging. I loved it. Linda’s Book Bag blog – Top 1000 Reviewer
I’m delighted to see that this is the first in a series – I’m hooked and already looking forward to my return to Hamble and spending more time with the ladies of the ATA. Being Anne blog (Vine Voice)
