Book Two in The Thistlewhip Mysteries
by R.M. Jenkins
Something strange is ticking in Thistlewhip Hollow...
When a peculiar brass cat appears on Miss Pepp’s doorstep—complete with glowing green eyes and a ticking tail—the villagers are charmed... and then suspicious. Odd things begin to happen. Trinkets go missing. Footprints show up where no one’s been. And the old clock tower starts humming after dark.
Drawn into yet another puzzling case, Miss Pepp and her faithful animal crew must follow the trail of clues that leads deeper into the heart of the village—and its forgotten secrets.
In this warm and whimsical follow-up to Thistlewhip Hollow, discover a tale of curious machines, clever animals, and a mystery that ticks toward an unexpected truth.
Perfect for readers who love cozy mysteries with heart, magic, and a dash of clockwork wonder.
