THE SOUND OF SHADOWS IN BRAMBLEWOOD

WW2 Spring 1941

Book 2 — Dual timeline historical mystery – Bramblewood Mysteries

The war brought strangers to Bramblewood. One of them was hiding more than most.

Eloise has escaped from a dark past and with the shackles of poverty behind her, she is ready to start her new role as a Land Girl in Bramblewood Village.

But a twist of fate leaves her stood over a body in the woods and everyone thinks she’s guilty. So, faced with the very real possibility of being sent back to the life she clawed her way out of, Eloise is determined to prove her innocence and find the real killer.

With the help of the young PC who helped untangle Bramblewood’s last case they find more than just a simple murder. They find a mystery that goes back to the 1920s, a Jazz club, and a notorious gang leader called The Black Scorpion.

1920s London:

The young jazz singer is trying to make a name for herself but comes face-to-face with the Black Scorpion’s gang. Facing increasing danger, can the young singer find a way to get what she wants and make a name for herself, without getting killed in the process?

The Sound of Shadows in Bramblewood moves between 1940 and the 1920s, following Eloise’s investigation in wartime Bramblewood alongside the story of the young jazz singer and The Black Scorpion gang.
