Aussie mystery writer inveigled in real life situation!

A Scrap of Silk (Tiggy Jones Mystery #1) by Virginia King    

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

New series with Australian mystery author Tiggy (Antigone) as the reluctant investigator.

Tiggy inherits a boathouse turned cottage from a grandmother she never knew. It was right on the waterfront of Exe Estuary in the English village of Topsham.

Just having come off a research expedition involving camels in Central Australia, where she’d gathering information for her next book, Tiggy immediately took herself off to England to claim her inheritance, very much against her mother Delilah’s wishes.

What follows is a spine tingling situation where Tiggy is subjected to bullying, threats, riots, fire bombing and more in an attempt to drive her away. Where is this coming from?

Then there’s Tiggys search to find out what happened to her grandmother Letitia, who it turns out, was a psychic. She could sense information from objects if she held them. She had psychometric abilities.

Add to this a horrifying find in a sealed cellar under the boathouse.

A solid mystery with enough ‘woo woo’ feel to take this slightly beyond the cosy genre.
