A Thread of Silver — A Bell's Fleece & Fiber Mystery, Book 1

In the quiet English village of Willowdown, every strand of wool carries a whisper.

Nora Bell spins enchanted wool on her hillside farm, working three whispered words of intention into every skein, with her prize ram Oberon keeping watch over the flock. It is a gentle, private magic, and Nora likes it that way.

Then Harlan Voss is found dead, and a length of silver cord ties the crime to Nora's own craft. With Detective Inspector Ruiz asking hard questions and the village whispering behind its curtains, Nora must follow a single silver thread through old rivalries, shop-front grudges, and secrets the village would rather keep wound tight.

If she can read the pattern before anyone else unravels, she may clear her name and find the truth. If she can't, Willowdown may never feel like home again.

A Thread of Silver is the first book in A Bell's Fleece & Fiber Mystery series: a cozy, non-graphic village mystery with real folk magic, woven craft, and a heroine who solves crimes one stitch at a time.

Perfect for readers who love: cozy mysteries, English village settings, knitting and fiber-craft stories, and a touch of gentle magic.
