  Flatlands is believable and complex. This story ranks with the classic depictions of the marvel that was the Old West, that great, vanished moment in history; within its strong atmosphere of reality, fiction intertwines with known facts of the time. This novel is a study in the strength of interaction between individuals of the same family or group, and explores stress and loyalty in the face of hostile odds. 
   
  Flatlands rewards the reader with rich insight into character and situation. Its individual tune interrupts shock and sorrow with irresistible laughter. A gripping original.

  🫖 Tea shop owner and knitting enthusiast Chamomile "Callie" Brewster is hosting her monthly knitting circle when the town's most demanding customer is found dead in her tearoom—smothered by one of Callie's hand-knitted tea cozies. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Callie notices the cozy features a knitting stitch pattern that was discontinued decades ago and the victim's tea cup contains traces of a rare, poisonous herb. With her tearoom temporarily closed and the local gossip boiling over, Callie must steep herself in an investigation that's anything but soothing. Assisted by her loyal knitting circle and the handsome British tea importer who supplies her shop, Callie uncovers a plot involving antique knitting patterns, rare tea smuggling, and a secret society of tea enthusiasts. From suspicious yarn blends that reveal unexpected origins to tea leaves that form cryptic messages, every cozy detail holds a clue. But when Callie discovers the victim was blackmailing members of the town's oldest families about their ancestors' involvement in a Prohibition-era tea smuggling ring, she realizes the killer is protecting a legacy warmer than any tea cozy. With the annual Tea Festival approaching and the real culprit still brewing trouble, Callie must unravel this conspiracy before her own shop gets permanently closed.

The midwife Mrs Hughes was found dead in her flat. Around the corpse, five pumpkins had been placed, each carved with a grotesque face and brightly illuminated. Several inconsistencies immediately caught Holmes's eye, and thus the case presented a puzzle even for the master detective and his assistant...
