This is from early in the book, the first in the Glassblowing Mystery series by Sarah Atwell. In this excerpt, the main character, Em, has just settled into bed for the night when her dogs alert her to trouble in the shop below her apartment.

In an old building like this, which heated and cooled every day, there were always mysterious creaks and thumps, and it was hard to sort out which were coming from the building—and which weren't. Then there was a thud that definitely was more than old wood complaining. (pg 32)
