-📌 Patreon — ad-free, early access, bonus content (tiers from $2.99/month)https://www.patreon.com/NocturnalTalesOn a pale March afternoon, Laura Vale comes to a sharp-eyed village sleuth with a frightened confession. Her husband Henry is jealous, suspicious and cruel. He has discovered the foolish letters she exchanged with Gerald Fenwick, a handsome young mechanic, and now he watches her, opens her post and smiles as he warns that women who make fools of men sometimes come to bad ends. The next night Henry Vale is stabbed in the lane beyond Larkspur Cottage. Laura says she saw two men struggling from her upstairs window. Gerald is found walking towards the neighbouring town with blood on his cuff and Laura's letters in his pocket. He had threatened Henry the evening before. The village has its murderer before breakfast. But moonlight is theatrical, windows are public stages, and letters preserved in a locked drawer can tell precisely the story somebody wants the police to believe. Between an estranged cousin, a missing knife, a torn button, a pawn ticket and another woman seen in the lane wearing white fur, the village sleuth begins to suspect that too many frightened people arrived at the same place that night — each hiding a different piece of the truth. The Woman at the Window is an original Golden Age-style village mystery about jealousy, romantic fantasy and the dangerous moment when words written carelessly are treated as proof of murder.ℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThis is an original work of historical mystery fiction presented as a respectful homage to classic detective fiction and inspired by the 1922 Thompson-Bywaters case, in which private letters became central evidence in a sensational murder trial. The characters, English village setting, investigation and solution presented here are entirely fictional. No affiliation, endorsement, or official connection is implied.💬 QUESTION FOR THE COMMENTSLaura's private letters sound damning once a murder has taken place — but should words written in fantasy ever be treated as proof of criminal intent? Where would you draw the line between foolish language and genuine evidence? 🕵️📖 GET THE EBOOK — $3.99📌 Patreon — included with Writing Table & Archive Society, or one-time purchasehttps://www.patreon.com/posts/156573383🛒 Gumroad — EPUB + PDF includedhttps://nocturnaltalespod.gumroad.com/l/ebookvol2❤️ Buy Me a Coffee — EPUB + PDF includedhttps://buymeacoffee.com/nocturnaltales/e/532495❤️ SUPPORT & LISTENING OPTIONS📌 Patreon — ad-free, early access, bonus contenthttps://www.patreon.com/NocturnalTales📺 Rumble — free, supports us with ad revenuehttps://rumble.com/c/c-7820714❤️ Buy Me a Coffee — one-time supporthttps://buymeacoffee.com/nocturnaltales💛 PayPal — one-time tiphttps://paypal.me/nocturnaltalesprod🎧 Spotify — follow the showhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0OQ7OEseXIMbMt2NTI7oHy🎧 Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nocturnal-tales-mystery-audiobooks-and-crime-stories/id1896195848🧾 CREDITSWritten by Nocturnal Tales.
