Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy cosy mysteries with clever heroines who see through hysteria and rumour to find the truth.
  • You like historical settings (especially Edwardian England) where characters navigate both propriety and danger with wit.
  • You appreciate a central partnership built on genuine friendship and mutual respect between two women.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want graphic violence or detailed descriptions of gore. The attacks are mentioned but not dwelt upon.
  • You're looking for paranormal explanations or genuinely supernatural creatures. This stays grounded in the rational.
  • You prefer standalone mysteries over long-running series. This is book 12 and builds on established characters and dynamics.

About this book

In October 1912, the village of Littleton Cotterell discovers that one of Sid Hyde's sheep has been killed in a mauled attack following a week of severe storms. Rumors spread of a dangerous beast roaming the Gloucestershire countryside. Lady Hardcastle and her lady's maid Florence Armstrong investigate, seeking a rational explanation for the attack. When Hyde himself is killed in a similar manner, the villagers' curiosity turns to fear. As more deaths and injuries follow, it becomes urgent to identify and capture whatever is responsible. However, questions arise about what the villagers are actually witnessing. Is there truly a wild animal loose, or is something more sinister—and human—behind the attacks?
