A Winterley Tale: A Huthnance and Pearse mystery

By B. W. Bidgood

A mystery set in rural in Cheshire in1910, where friendship, secrets, and social change collide in the shadow of a shocking murder. When schoolmistress Loveday Huthnance and her fiercely intelligent friend Wilmot Pearse stumble upon a dying stranger near Winterley Pool, what first appears to be a tragic accident soon reveals darker undercurrents. As whispers of suffragist meetings, hidden connections, and long-buried truths emerge, the two young women find themselves drawn into an increasingly dangerous investigation.

​​​​​​​Against a vividly evoked Edwardian backdrop of village life, Liverpool politics, and the growing women's movement, A Winterley Tale combines the warmth of close friendship with the tension of an unfolding mystery. Filled with memorable characters, emotional depth, and a keen eye for period detail, it is a compelling story of courage, loyalty, and the quiet determination of women refusing to remain on the sidelines.
