28. The Medici Manuscript by C.J. Archer

Set in England just after World War I it involves a woman whose late mother kept her father's name a secret. The mother kept moving her two children from town to town never telling them why. The mother eventually dies of influenza and the brother dies in the war, but in his journal her brother writes he suspected they were descendants of silver magicians, ones who could craft the finest silver objects but was killed before he could prove it.

The woman decides to take up her brother's quest and meets a wealthy man whose mother inherited a magical ability with time pieces. He hires her as an assistant to the librarian who runs a library filled with a collection of books on magic. The wealthy man's family partially funds it. He also maybe hiding Magic secrets of his own.

There are mysteries to solve and a hint of romance. I am listening to the second audio book in the series now on Hoopla!
