Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our books, authors, and indie publishing.
What order should I read The Copperwhistle Bridge Mysteries?
The main series reading order is: The Locksmith of Copperwhistle Bridge (Book 1), The Waterwheel's Warning (Book 2), The Glow-Lantern's Secret (Book 3), The Chandler's Bargain (Book 4), The Bridgekeeper's Watch (Book 5). The prequel novella, The Locksmith's First Client, can be read before or after the main series. We also have two companion books that can be enjoyed at any point: The Bargeman's Silence and The Canal Runner's Code.
What are companion books and when should I read them?
Companion books are standalone stories set in the same world as the main series but don't advance the central plot. The Bargeman's Silence and The Canal Runner's Code explore side characters and additional mysteries in Thornwick. You can read them before, during, or after the main series without spoiling the main storyline.
