Threads & Tinctures
(2026)(The second book in the Whispering Falls: Cozy Magical Cat Mystery series)
A novel by Hazel Whitmore
Book Two of the Whispering Falls: Cozy Magical Cat Mysteries
Threads & Tinctures
She came to Whispering Falls to leave. She stayed for the ward, the cats, and a life she didn't know she was building.
Clara Mercer is forty years old, a ward keeper, and — against every six-week plan she made last autumn — completely at home.
The Blackwood estate knows her footsteps now. The ward hums steady when she runs her hands along the Loom. Seven cats with specific jobs and strong opinions have accepted her as management, more or less. She has a bakery learning to run itself in a friend's absence, a sourdough starter that demands Tuesday feedings, and Evie's grimoire full of tincture recipes that work better than they should.
She has Nora, who shows up with imperfect frosting and the kind of friendship Clara didn't know she was missing. She has Daniel... steady, kind, present at 3am when the kittens need feeding and nothing else needs to be said.
And she has Tom Whitaker, who drives past more often than his route requires and will, at the very end of a very long year, say exactly four words.
Then a small gray cat appears at the eastern boundary. The ward cats go on alert. Something in the network is fraying from the inside, and whatever placed it there understood exactly what it was doing.
Clara has Evie's recipes, seven opinionated allies, and a mother who is finally choosing to use what she was born with. The ward held once. It will hold again.
Threads & Tinctures is the second book in the Whispering Falls Cozy Magical Cat Mysteries — warm, layered, and built to keep you reading. Each mystery resolves completely. The magic keeps deepening.
Perfect for fans of Amanda M. Lee, Leighann Dobbs, and Annabel Chase.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
