The Antique Key Mysteries – Book 3
by Iris Calder

When the lights go out, the truth comes into focus…

Clara Bennett is still learning to rebuild her life while running her grandmother’s antique shop in Windward Cove. But when she receives a stunning brass candelabra engraved with mysterious symbols, she never imagines it will become the centerpiece of a deadly crime.

At a crowded town fundraiser, the room plunges into darkness — and when the lights return, a respected community leader lies dead at Clara’s feet. Poisoned.

Now, the candelabra is more than a relic. It’s evidence. And someone in town will do anything to keep its secrets hidden.

As Clara digs deeper into the clues etched into the metal, she uncovers a long-buried scandal involving a missing soldier, a powerful family, and a betrayal woven into the very history of Windward Cove. Every answer brings new danger… and an enemy watching her every move.

Detective James Whitaker vows to protect Clara — even as his heart draws dangerously close to hers. But the closer they get to the truth, the more Clara wonders if love is worth the risk when the past refuses to stay buried.
