Compass of Secrets: A Primrose Eversley Mystery Book 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798992366969)

Some compasses point north. This one points to secrets... and someone willing to kill to keep them hidden.

Inheriting her late father's antique bookshop in the quaint Edwardian town of Haworth was never part of Primrose Eversley's plans. But when she discovers an ornate jeweled compass hidden among his belongings-one that mysteriously points to hidden clues-she is drawn into a puzzle that defies logic.

When a notorious book collector is found dead, the only clue left behind is a cryptic note referencing a lost manuscript and a secret her father took to his grave. As she navigates the cobbled streets and shadowy corners of the town, whispers of her father's past resurface-along with rumors that he dabbled in forbidden knowledge.

With the help of Rowan Ashcroft, a journalist harboring secrets of his own, and her ever-watchful owl, Athena, she follows the compass's guidance-only to uncover a conspiracy that reaches far deeper than she imagined. Someone doesn't want the truth unearthed... and they'll do anything to keep the past buried.

Can she decipher the compass's hidden message before history repeats itself? Or will she become the next unsolved mystery in Haworth?

Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with a touch of magic, literary puzzles, and slow-burning intrigue.
