The Mysterious Disappearance of Kendal's King of the Yards

Kendal's wool and cloth industry has always been a source of pride for the town, but the recent disappearance of Curly Weaver, the self-proclaimed King of the Yards, has left the community in shock. Curly was known for his charitable work but also for his habit of spreading rumours. Now, his body has been found near a vat of dye, and the police are struggling to unravel this mystery.

Could one of Curly's competitors, Lacey Trim, be responsible? She denies any involvement and claims she's been framed. It's up to YOU to solve the clues and uncover the truth in this tangled thread of a case.
