The Quiet Ledger
When a meticulous bookkeeper in Inverness disappears, the last person to see him is a local audiobook narrator who notices small inconsistencies everyone else dismisses. As she starts checking the dead man's accounts, she finds a chain of petty fraud, old grudges and one very expensive lie. The case turns on who benefits from being overlooked.
