In a world where no one can be trusted, Detective Jenna Carter is thrust into a high-stakes investigation when her close friend and former informant, Ryan Whitmore, mysteriously disappears. Ryan, a brilliant cybersecurity expert, had been working on a classified encryption project for a government contractor-one that he soon realized was far more dangerous than he initially thought. Before vanishing, he left a cryptic message for Jenna: "Trust no one, not even the police."

Jenna, determined to find Ryan, uncovers a web of lies, corruption, and betrayal that reaches the highest levels of authority. Her long-time partner, Marcus Hayes, seems like an ally, but after Ryan's ominous warning, Jenna starts to question everyone around her. Is Marcus truly on her side, or is he part of the conspiracy that Ryan uncovered?

As Jenna follows Ryan's clues, she discovers Sara, a woman who holds key information about the project and the powerful forces involved. But Sara is captured by federal agents before she can reveal everything, and now Jenna must navigate a dangerous game of cat and mouse, where every step brings her closer to the truth-and further into danger.

With time running out and enemies closing in, Jenna has to rely on her instincts to survive. But with trust shattered and lives at stake, she'll need to decide who to believe before it's too late. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes: that some secrets are meant to stay buried.

59 parts Complete

This story will become free again on 3 March 2025. It will be removed from Wattpad at some point in the not too distant future. Jessica "Ike" Wordsworth can dive into books, but she isn't prepared for a monster - and a ruthless murderer killing her tourists. Ike is fighting the aftermath of a nasty divorce that left her husband in custody of her homesitting business - and her beloved cats. With nothing but a turquoise construction trailer to call her home, Ike invests her last quid and becomes partner in a tour company specialising in bespoke trips for book-lovers. When the guide hired to take on the first tour drops out at the last minute, Ike has to take over and steer her guests towards the cradle of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". All to soon she realises there truly are monsters on the loose, one of them a ruthless killer who's targetting her tourists. To unearth the truth, Ike will have to cooperate with her moronic partner, Gary Sands, 13th Baron of Nettlehole and founder of LiteraTours. When they don't succeed in stopping the killer, she realises she'll have to take the plunge and draw on some rather unusual skills her family has been hiding from the world . . . "Frankenstein's Guide" is the first instalment in the "LiteraTours Cozy Mystery series". [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]] Cover designed by Ren T
