The village of Ravenscroft has been keeping its secrets for a very long time. It has been waiting for someone who could hear them.
Iris Ashworth arrives in Ravenscroft with a removal van, a spider plant named Derek, and a gift she has spent fifty-two years pretending she doesn't have.
She isn't looking for a mystery. She is looking for quiet.
She doesn't find it.
On her first morning in the village, the bell rings at St Oswald's - and then falls silent in a way that feels wrong. By afternoon, a man is dead. The village calls it an accident, the way villages do. But Iris laid her hand on the cold stone of the church wall, and the stone told her something else entirely.
Ravenscroft is a place where everyone knows everything and no one says anything. Where the publican has been watching the same lane for thirty-one years. Where the vet gives nothing away and the shopkeeper feels everything. Where a quiet detective named Daniel Marsh asks questions in a way that suggests he already knows the answers.
And where the stones - the walls, the floors, the paths worn smooth by centuries of feet - remember. Every word spoken. Every secret buried. Every thing that was never supposed to come to light.
Iris has a choice. She can ignore what the stones are telling her, the way she has ignored it her whole life. Or she can listen.
Ravenscroft has been patient. It has chosen its moment. It has chosen her.
The Village Whisperer is the first novel in the Village Whisperer Mysteries - a cozy paranormal mystery series set in the North Yorkshire moors, for readers who love a warm village, a fair-play puzzle, and a heroine who is only just beginning to understand what she can do.
