Synopsis
A centuries-old farmhouse. A hidden wall. A story the past refuses to bury.
When restoration workers crack open a plaster wall in rural Brussels, Wisconsin, they expect dust and debris—not a perfectly preserved collection of 19th-century Belgian puppets arranged as if mid-performance. But alongside the marionettes lies something far more dangerous: a sealed wooden box containing a journal, carved storyboards, and documents hinting at a scandal buried since the Great Fire of 1871.
Dr. Sarah Dekker, a cultural historian, is called in to examine the find. She recognizes the puppets as masterworks of Frederik Vandeputte, a legendary Belgian puppet maker known for embedding political and social truths into his performances. Each puppet’s face is startlingly lifelike, their positioning deliberate—like a frozen testimony. But when the box vanishes overnight, and the puppets appear to move and rearrange themselves, Sarah realizes she’s stumbled into a mystery that someone will stop at nothing to silence.
The deeper she digs, the more tangled the threads become—land fraud, betrayal, and an opportunistic scheme that turned a disaster into a fortune for one powerful family. A family whose descendants still hold sway in Brussels… and who may be willing to commit new crimes to keep the old ones hidden.
With the help of a Belgian folk art curator, a fiercely protective heritage museum director, and a sheriff whose own roots run deep in the community, Sarah must decode the puppets’ silent performance before the truth—and anyone chasing it—disappears forever.
From Door County’s iconic red-brick farmhouses to the roadside chapels of its Belgian settlement, Tangled Threadsweaves rich history, living tradition, and pulse-pounding suspense into an unforgettable literary mystery. Perfect for fans of dual-timeline historical fiction, small-town secrets, and art-based thrillers like The Lost Apothecary or The Christie Affair, this is a tale where heritage, justice, and danger intersect.
What if the past could speak—and it accused the present?
