Introducing Compass of Secrets (Primrose Eversley Mystery #1)
Some compasses point north. This one points to secrets… and someone willing to kill to keep them hidden.
If you love cozy mysteries with atmosphere, hidden histories, and a hint of the uncanny, welcome to Haworth—a quaint Edwardian town of cobblestone streets, whispered rumors, and old doors that don’t stay closed forever.
Welcome to Haworth
When Primrose Eversley, a quirky librarian, inherits her late father’s antique bookshop, she expects dust, ledgers, and memories—not a mystery that refuses to stay buried. Tucked among her father’s belongings, she finds an ornate jeweled compass with one unsettling trait: it doesn’t point north. It points toward hidden truths—clues, people, and secrets that someone in Haworth would rather keep in the dark.
Then a book collector is found dead in this small town, and the only thing left behind is a cryptic note referencing a lost manuscript… and a secret her father took to his grave. As Primrose starts pulling on the thread, she discovers her father wasn’t just a quiet bookseller. The town has stories about him—some of them dangerous, some of them wrong, and all of them tangled.
