When a mysterious hit-and-run claims a squatter at Waterfell Manor, the quiet village of Waterfell Tweed is shaken. Sandy Shaw, owner of the local bookshop and an amateur detective at heart, is initially content to let the police handle the case. But as the investigation stalls and a second, more sinister attack occurs, Sandy can't ignore the mounting evidence that the authorities are chasing the wrong leads.
Compelled to act, she begins to piece together the clues, navigating through a labyrinth of village secrets and lies. With each step closer to the truth, the danger grows, proving that some secrets are deadly to uncover.

ONE PENNY A STORY, I called across the playground.
Entirely unusual, given how shy I was (and still am), for me to be shouting anything across a playground.
But there I was, a double-sided sheet of narrow ruled paper (I've always been kind of particular about the paper I like. Back then, narrow ruled. Now, grid.) in my hand, selling stories I hadn't yet wrote.
Every line featured a different title. I'd lay on my bed the night before thinking of them all, probably singing along to Boyzone songs as I did [hey, don't judge... I see you over there like you never thought you were destined to marry a boy band singer...].
My school friends could buy a Mona original for one penny. One penny!
They'd pick the title they liked, hand over their sweaty penny, and I'd write the story for them.
And I've never grown out of writing stories.
Now, I write cozy mystery stories from my den in the Peak District, and when I'm not writing them, I'm reading them.
