Biddy Apple never expected a simple invitation to an old friend’s manor house to turn into her next great mystery. But as she steps into the grand halls of Thistlebrook Manor, she quickly realises that secrets are simmering just beneath the surface. Shadows move where they shouldn’t, whispers echo through the corridors, and the air is thick with tension. Thistlebrook, with all its timeless charm, has once again become a stage for intrigue.
The picturesque village seems to be hiding something darker than usual, and at the heart of it all lies the manor, a place filled with old stories, hidden grudges, and a mysterious new crime. Biddy soon finds herself caught in a web of deception, where every creak of the floorboards and every furtive glance suggests a story waiting to be uncovered. The stately manor’s atmosphere is full of untold truths, and Biddy must use her keen eye and sharp mind to piece together the fragments before the trail grows cold.
What starts as an ordinary visit turns into a labyrinth of unexpected clues and suspicious characters. The guests at the manor each have their own secrets, and Biddy begins to suspect that not all of them are there by mere coincidence. As she delves deeper, she uncovers long-held grudges, personal vendettas, and hidden motives that blur the line between friend and foe. The deeper she investigates, the more she realises that someone is working hard to ensure the truth stays hidden—using smoke and mirrors to keep their secrets safe.
