Gilded Gargoyle, The: A Cozy Mystery of Architecture and an Old Foundation

di Hoang Nguyen (Autore)

Hoang, 2025

??? The historic town of Gableton is buzzing with the grand reopening of the old city hall, a magnificent Gothic revival building. But the celebration turns to horror when the lead architect—a man with a reputation for cutting corners and making enemies—is found dead in the bell tower, a small, gilded gargoyle statue lying beside him. The police suspect a tragic accident, but historical preservationist and architectural historian Elara Vane notices the scene is all wrong. The specific gargoyle is a replica, and the original, which holds a secret, is missing. When Elara's own research into the building's past makes her a target, she must trace the blueprint of the crime to uncover the truth. With help from her inquisitive jackdaw, Corvis, and a charming stonemason restoring the building, Elara uncovers a structure of lies. From forged historical documents and hidden construction flaws to a decades-old urban legend about a treasure hidden within the building's stones, every clue points to a killer who will stop at nothing to protect a secret as old as the foundation. Can Elara reconstruct the events before the killer ensures she becomes part of the building's tragic history?
