A quiet weekend getaway, a historic mine, and a mystery that refuses to stay buried.

When author and amateur sleuth Rebecca Hartwell joins her partner, restoration expert Logan Reed, for a long weekend at a newly reopened quartz mine turned tourist attraction, she expects a peaceful escape—not a murder.

When a tourist is found dead in a restricted tunnel using tools Logan repaired, suspicion threatens both the project and Logan’s hard-won confidence.

Refusing to let guilt replace truth, Rebecca investigates with her emotional support dog, Gatsby, uncovering secrets buried deep within the mine’s history.

As she uncovers small cracks in the mine’s polished story: missing records, overlooked safety concerns, and secrets tucked away deeper than anyone expected.

Tensions rise underground and trust grows above ground, love deepens. Because when honesty comes to light, even buried stories can shine.

Shards of Truth is a cozy mystery about accountability, trust, and the power of telling the whole story.
