A Special Note From Elizabeth Fairfield

Welcome To Stonefall

If you've opened The Stonefall Mysteries, you've already stepped into a world I care deeply about.

I have always loved mysteries shaped not by violence or spectacle, but by atmosphere, character, and the quiet tension hidden beneath ordinary lives.

The North Pennines, with their valleys, weathered stone, and old histories, felt the perfect home for such stories.

What The Shadows Whisper is my gift to readers who enjoy settling into these places and lingering there a little longer.

Set amid the secluded valleys and old households of northern Edwardian-era England, Mira Ashworth encounters the first troubling shadow that would shape the cases to come.

I hope you enjoy meeting Mira Ashworth at the beginning of her journey.
