The Last Lending Shelf
When a small Stirling lending library prepares to close its doors, the volunteers discover that one of the returned books contains a handwritten message tied to a long-ignored local disappearance. Mara Bell, a careful book cataloguer with a habit of noticing what other people miss, starts asking questions she is not meant to ask. The closer she gets to the truth, the more the library’s quiet routine begins to look like a very tidy cover for old secrets.
