Book Description

In the picturesque village of Thistlebrook, where every cobbled street whispers stories of simpler times, an unsettling darkness begins to unravel the tranquil façade. The peace is shattered when malicious poison pen letters start to circulate, spreading doubt, fear, and mistrust among the villagers. What begins as anonymous threats soon spirals into something far more sinister—a chilling act of murder.

As the village is thrown into turmoil, Biddy Apple, Thistlebrook’s sharp-witted retired headmistress, steps up once again to restore order. With her unmatched sense of observation and her gift for uncovering hidden truths, Biddy dives into the mystery to find the author of the venomous letters and uncover the secrets lurking behind closed doors. She must untangle a web of resentment, old grudges, and buried motives before the darkness consumes the village completely.

The Shaky Finger is a gripping cosy mystery filled with suspense, charm, and the kind of small-town intrigue that keeps you guessing until the very end. Join Biddy Apple as she takes on her most challenging case yet, peeling back the layers of Thistlebrook’s secrets in this captivating tale—available now on Kindle Unlimited.

As Biddy navigates the twists and turns of the investigation, she must also contend with the personal toll the letters take on the villagers. Friendships begin to fray, old alliances are questioned, and even the most trusted neighbours fall under suspicion. The tension mounts as the community, once so close-knit, becomes increasingly divided by the poisoned words that have infiltrated their lives.

With time running out and the threat of more violence looming, Biddy must rely on her intuition and experience to bring the village back from the brink. Can she unmask the perpetrator before the fear and mistrust tear Thistlebrook apart for good? Or will the dark secrets that have surfaced prove too dangerous to expose?
