The Last Borrower
When a small public library in north Wales begins receiving returned books that were never borrowed, librarian Elin Pritchard notices the pattern is tied to a missing local historian and a set of old lending cards. As she follows the trail, she finds the library’s quiet routines hiding a long memory of debts, favours and one carefully buried disappearance. The deeper she looks, the less certain she becomes about who has been using the library, and why.
