  💎 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.

  🎀 Quilt shop owner and strip piecing expert Ruby Rollins is celebrating the launch of her new jelly roll collection when the fabric company's quality control inspector—known for rejecting innovative designs—is found dead in her shop, tangled in a massive unrolled jelly roll of her newest fabric line. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Ruby notices the fabric strips have been deliberately misaligned and the victim's inspection reports contain color-coded rejection notes that form a pattern. With her fabric line launch in chaos and the quilting community watching, Ruby must unroll this mystery strip by strip. Assisted by her quilting team and the handsome color theorist analyzing fabric dye lots, Ruby uncovers a scheme involving manipulated colorways, stolen gradient designs, and a plot to sabotage emerging fabric designers. From suspicious strip widths that reveal manufacturing defects to color sequences that don't follow the intended pattern, every rolled strip tells a story. But when Ruby discovers the victim was systematically rejecting unique fabric collections to steal the designs for a rival company, she realizes the killer is protecting creative innovation more valuable than any pre-cut bundle. With the quilt market approaching and the real saboteur still rolling out deception, Ruby must straighten out the truth before her own designs get permanently scrapped.
