The Clockmaker's Secret (A Honeychurch Vale Mysteries)

By Hannah Stratford

In the quiet English village of Honeychurch Vale, time has a habit of standing still--until the past comes ticking back to life. When an antique clock mysteriously appears on the doorstep of Finch Cottage, it seems like nothing more than an eccentric delivery. But within its finely carved casing lies a bloodstained note, a cryptic message, and the first clue to a long-buried secret. For Constable Ned Higgins, what begins as a curious investigation quickly spirals into a deadly game of secrets and silence, one that points to a cold case long thought forgotten. As layers of deception peel away, the clock's silent witness reveals connections to a vanished footman, a reclusive clocksmith, and a noble family with more to hide than heirlooms. But it is Edith "Edi" Cartwright Finch--aspiring novelist and unlikely sleuth--whose keen mind and fierce heart might be the key to unlocking the truth before time runs out. Rich with atmosphere, charm, and unexpected twists, The Clockmaker's Secret is a tale of shadowed pasts, ticking danger, and the enduring courage it takes to bring the truth to light.
