The Riddle of the Ruby: A Cozy Mystery of Precious Gems and Priceless Secrets: Some gems shine brighter than others... and some secrets are better left buried

💎 Gemologist Ruby Jewel thought she'd seen every type of precious stone in her family's antique jewelry shop—until a mysterious client brings in a legendary crimson ruby rumored to be cursed. When the client is found murdered the next morning and the ruby vanishes, Ruby becomes both suspect and sleuth. The police focus on the obvious: a simple robbery gone wrong. But Ruby recognizes the crime scene's strange details as clues from an ancient gem-cutting cipher used by master jewelers. Teaming up with a historian specializing in lost treasures and her sharp-eyed apprentice, Ruby follows a trail of gemological clues through the city's elite auction houses and shadowy antique markets. Each discovery—from hidden compartments in vintage settings to UV-reactive inscriptions—brings her closer to a secret society that has protected the ruby's true history for centuries. But as Ruby deciphers the final riddle, she realizes the killer is someone she trusts, and the ruby's curse might claim one more victim.
