The Silence at St Oswald's: A Village Whisperer Mystery (Book Two) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798183831870)

The bell at St Oswald's had rung every morning for one hundred and fourteen years. On the last Tuesday of February, it didn't. And only Iris Ashworth understood what that silence meant.

Iris came to the village of Ravenscroft at fifty-two to start over - a blue door, two olive trees, and the quiet she'd been missing her whole life. What she found instead was a gift she never asked for: the ability to hear the dead, and to know things before they happen.

When the beloved Reverend Pembridge dies in his vestry - apparently of natural causes - the whole village mourns and moves on. But Iris can feel that something is wrong. The frequency is frightened. And a vicar who spent thirty-one years quietly keeping the village's secrets did not simply stop, mid-sentence, on an ordinary winter morning.

With the help of a werewolf vet who would rather not discuss the full moon, a shopkeeper who feels everyone's feelings, and a careful detective who is learning to trust what he cannot put in a report, Iris begins to pull at a thread that runs forty years deep - to a debt that was never paid, a boy who died too young, and a kindness that turned out to be the most dangerous thing of all.

Because in Ravenscroft, the past doesn't disappear.

It accumulates.

The Silence at St Oswald's is the second book in The Village Whisperer Mysteries - a warm, witty, and quietly magical cozy paranormal series for readers who believe life truly begins after fifty. Perfect for fans of village mysteries, gentle hauntings, and amateur sleuths with a supernatural edge.
