The Clockwork Conspiracy: A Cozy Mystery of Watchmakers and a Timely Death: In this town, every second counts... especially your last.

⏱️ The prestigious Golden Cog watchmaking competition in the historic town of Gearbrook is a celebration of precision and craftsmanship. But the event grinds to a halt when the head judge—a legendary watchmaker known for his brutal critiques and shady past—is found dead in his workshop, a delicate antique pocket watch clutched in his hand. The timing is suspiciously perfect, and the cause is a tiny, poisoned pin embedded in the watch's mechanism. The prime suspect is the victim's former apprentice, Ivy Gearsworth, who now runs a struggling clock repair shop and had every reason to want her cruel mentor out of the way. To clear her name, Ivy must wind her way through a complex world of gears, springs, and hidden motives. With help from her clever magpie, Ticker, and a handsome historian specializing in antique timepieces, Ivy uncovers a conspiracy that goes far beyond a single murder. From stolen designs and forgery to a secret society of watchmakers and a decades-old theft of a priceless timepiece, every clue is a piece of a meticulously crafted puzzle. Can Ivy solve the mystery before the killer's master plan strikes again?
