When Douglas Grant dies and leaves his estate to a daughter nobody knew he had, the village of Killrannoch doesn't just inherit a disputed will.
It inherits a secret forty years in the making.
Moira Sinclair — estate archivist, accidental detective, and keeper of a fifteenth-century Highland castle — knows a forged document when she sees one. The codicil naming the mystery heir is wrong. The paper, the signature, the terminology. Every tell she's spent fifteen years learning to read is right there on the page.
What she doesn't know yet is why.
Because this forgery wasn't built to steal an inheritance. It was built to bury a truth. And the truth — a sealed adoption record, a blood claim no one expected, a family held together by a lie so careful it took four decades to crack — is the kind that changes everything for everyone in the room.
Then the solicitor who knew all of it turns up dead.
Now Moira has a forger among the heirs, a killer she hasn't yet found, a village watching to see if she'll stay or bolt, and a provost who keeps showing up at exactly the right moment — for the wrong reasons, or possibly the right ones, depending on what she decides to do about February.
Three heirs. One forged document. And a forty-year secret that someone just killed to protect.
Wills & Whispered Lies is the fifth book in the Killrannoch Keep cozy mystery series — where the loch holds its silence, inheritance is never simple, and the person who knows how to read the documents always finds out what the documents were meant to hide.
Perfect for readers who love: smart amateur sleuths, slow-burn romance, Scottish Highland settings, cozy mysteries with heart, and secrets that took generations to build and one very stubborn American to unravel.
