The Secrets of the Ruby Ring
(2026)(A book in the Nurse Isabel Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Widdy Thorne
Some secrets were never meant to be uncovered.
When a local moving company makes a grim discovery during a routine job in the quiet mountain town of Running Springs, whispers about the past begin to surface once again.
Nurse Isabel Reyes has only been back on the mountain for a year, returning after five years away to rebuild a quieter life. She never expected to find herself tangled in a decades-old mystery the town seems determined to forget.
But one small detail refuses to be ignored.
A striking ruby ring connected to a disappearance that was never fully explained.
As Isabel begins asking questions, old records resurface, long-buried tensions return, and the carefully guarded history of Running Springs begins to unravel.
Some residents want answers.
Others would prefer the past remain exactly where it is.
Because in a town where everyone knows everyone…
the truth can be far more dangerous than the secret itself.
And someone has spent decades making sure that truth never comes to light.
