  Superintendent Alan Markby and Meredith Mitchell are in desperate need of a holiday - and the Cotswold village of Parsloe St John seems the perfect choice. Their neighbour, retired journalist Wynne Carter, is as convivial as the village itself and, over a glass of blackberry wine, indulges in her latest obsession, Olivia Smeaton, a racy old lady whose life - and death - she is convinced are not all they seem. 
   
  Markby is more interested in buying Olivia's house than the circumstances of her vacating it, but Meredith is intrigued: by the old lady, the death of a cherished horse and a dusty junk shop run by a white witch. When another fatality - of a very grisly nature - is discovered, it seems her suspicion is justified. Clearly Olivia isn't the only enigma in Parsloe St John - and her death might be the first of many unless Meredith Mitchell and Alan Markby can make sense of some very secret lives to reach the truth ...

  🧵 Weaver and textile studio owner Wanda Warp is preparing for the prestigious Fiber Arts Gala when the event's major sponsor—a ruthless textile manufacturer—is found dead in her studio, crushed beneath her massive floor loom. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Wanda notices the warp threads have been deliberately cut and the victim's fabric samples contain hidden messages woven into the pattern. With her studio shut down and the weaving community in disarray, Wanda must thread her way through a complex investigation. Assisted by her weaving guild and the handsome textile engineer analyzing fiber stress points, Wanda uncovers a scheme involving industrial espionage, stolen weaving patterns, and sabotage of traditional looms. From suspicious tension inconsistencies that reveal tampering to fiber blends that don't match production records, every thread in the warp and weft tells a story. But when Wanda discovers the victim was systematically putting traditional weavers out of business to steal their patterns for mass production, she realizes the killer is protecting a craft heritage more valuable than any factory output. With the gala approaching and the real saboteur still operating, Wanda must weave together the truth before her own loom falls silent forever.

  The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb, one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the ninth of the 12 stories collected in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The story was first published in Strand Magazine in March 1892. 
  An engineer, Victor Hatherly, attends Dr. Watson's Surgery after his thumb is chopped off, and recounts his tale to Watson and Holmes. Hatherly had been hired for 50 guineas to repair a machine he was told compressed Fuller's earth into bricks. 
  Hatherly was told to keep the job confidential, and was transported to the job in a carriage with frosted glass, to keep the location secret. He was shown the press, but on closer inspection discovered a "rust of metallic deposit" on the press, and he suspected it was not being used for compressing earth. He confronted his employer, who attacked him, and during his escape his thumb is chopped off. Holmes deduces that the press is being used to produce counterfeit coins, and works out its location. However, when they arrive, the house is on fire, and the criminals have escaped.
