The Clockmaker's Daughter

When archivist Elodie stumbles upon a mysterious photograph and sketchbook in a leather satchel, she becomes obsessed with uncovering their secrets—especially when she recognizes the riverside manor sketched within its pages. Her investigation pulls her back to the summer of 1862, when a glittering circle of young artists gathered at Birchwood Manor, only to have their golden moment shattered by scandal, disappearance, and death. As Elodie pieces together fragments of the past across more than 150 years, she discovers that some mysteries refuse to stay buried, and that the truth has a way of finding those who need it most. This is a gorgeously layered mystery about forgotten women, hidden histories, and the transformative power of finally being remembered.
