A Little Bird Told Me

The Elderwick Mysteries, Book 1

Laurel Nightingale wants to start again. However, after discovering a dead body shortly after arriving in the tight-knit community, she wonders if village life is as wholesome as she first thought. . .

Local police are convinced the death was accidental, but Laurel suspects murder, and enlists new friend Maggie to join her quest in uncovering the truth. When a second body is found, Laurel ruffles feathers by pointing the finger at one of the locals. But, when her accusation backfires, she's left alienated and afraid.

With her fear at an all-time high, her sleuthing partner missing and village gossip spreading like wildfire, Laurel wonders who she can truly trust. Is it time to move on, yet again? And will her newly-formed friendships be enough to save her from this mysterious murderer?
