A mystery is waiting to be solved in
Kirkby Lonsdale
Seeda Sites, the head of tourism in Kirkby Lonsdale, was always busy promoting the picturesque spots around the town. But one morning, she received a strange letter with unusual demands. Some places in the town were to be renamed to be more palatable for visitors with sensitive dispositions. The demands were as follows: Radical Steps to be rebranded as Moderate Stairs, Salt Pie Lane to be known as Salt-free Quiche Byway, Jingling Lane to become Silent Way, and the Devil's Bridge to be called the Delightful Crossing! Seeda dismissed these instructions as foolish, but she has now mysteriously vanished…
Local police have discovered another note pinned to the Devil's Bridge, threatening serious consequences if the demands are not met. Detective Chief Inspector Ivan T'Clew has put out a call for top detectives (YOU!) to help crack the case.
