The Tower on Wren Lane: A Ravenswood Hollow Mystery - Book 1 (The Ravenswood Hollow Mysteries)

The Tower on Wren Lane (A Ravenswood Hollow Mystery – Book 1)Tucked into the fog-draped folds of the Dandenong Ranges, Ravenswood Hollow is the kind of mountain town that welcomes outsiders warmly — provided they don't look too closely beneath the surface.Tansy Gray has built a quiet life here, running a tarot and astrology studio on Wren Lane, finding purpose in the particular art of helping people say the true things they haven't managed to say anywhere else. Her only partner in this endeavour is Marmalade - an extraordinarily opinionated ginger cat who has strong views about which clients are lying, which are about to cry, and which have come for something other than what they've said they came for.When a rare antique tarot deck surfaces in the Hollow and its owner is found dead, Tansy finds herself drawn into a mystery rooted deep in the town's layered past. As a contentious ridge development tears old loyalties apart, buried secrets begin to surface - property records, unresolved grievances, and a deck of cards with one crucial card missing.In a town that survives on memory and thrives on charm, the line between protecting someone and destroying them is frequently invisible until it's already been crossed.The Tower on Wren Lane is a warmly atmospheric cosy mystery set against the mist-soaked beauty of the Victorian mountain ranges - a story about small-town secrets, the courage it takes to stay, and the particular wisdom of a very large cat who is almost never wrong.
