The Curse of the Crystal Shop: A Cozy Mystery of New Age Nonsense and a Very Old Crime: Some secrets are buried deep... and some are polished and on display.

💎 When the owner of "The Crystal Compass" is found dead in her own shop, the cause of death is as mysterious as the ancient amulet clutched in her hand. Luna, a pragmatic bookbinder and part-time skeptic who runs the shop next door, is pulled into the investigation when the victim's final text message leads the police to her door. To clear her name and protect her business, Luna must navigate the town's vibrant New Age community, where everyone has an alibi wrapped in spiritual jargon and celestial guidance. With the help of her logical-minded cat, Newton, and the victim's estranged granddaughter—a no-nonsense college student—Luna uncovers a trail of clues pointing to a decades-old crime. From forged artifacts and fake spiritual readings to a hidden treasure that someone is still willing to kill for, Luna must separate fact from fiction before the shop's supposed curse claims another victim.
