Whisper Of The Antique Clock

In the quiet town of Goldmoor, Detective Jonah Blackwood is summoned to investigate a peculiar death at the opulent Willoughby Manor. Mrs. Agnes Willoughby, an enigmatic widow and avid collector, is found dead in her study, her life snatched by a poison laced in a glass of wine. As Blackwood steps into the mansion’s shadowed corridors, he’s met with a haunting clue—a grand clock frozen at 2:15, its silence heavy with secrets. Suspicions fall on Edward, the penniless nephew with everything to gain, but Mrs. Willoughby, clever even in death, has left a final message—a whisper only Blackwood can unravel.
