A Prescient Woman

Set in the New Forest, A Prescient Woman follows Tabitha and Wolf as a village investigation begins when a boy disappears after claiming a towering monolith spoke to him. Arriving in Sway in search of rest, they instead find a community unsettled by whispers surrounding Peterson’s Folly, a concrete tower tied to a reclusive judge’s legacy. As they trace the boy’s disappearance, the case draws them into a secretive spiritualist circle, where séances and suggestion are used to manipulate belief and control behaviour. As fear spreads and loyalties begin to shift, Tabitha and Wolf must uncover who is exploiting the villagers’ superstition before panic turns them into unwitting accomplices. Perfect for readers who enjoy Victorian historical mysteries set in rural settings, featuring psychological intrigue and investigations shaped by manipulation, belief, and hidden influence.
