When the minutes don't match the truth, someone has something to hide.
Everyone at the Kōwhai Bay Yacht & Bowling Club trusted Colin Yardley: a careful treasurer, a devoted husband, and a man who read every line before signing his name. Then he is found dead at the foot of the clubhouse stairs.
The official finding is an accidental fall. Dorothy Whitcombe isn't so sure.
Asked to review the club's accounts before the annual general meeting, Dorothy uncovers altered minutes, unexplained invoices, and a company that seems to exist only on paper. But as she and her friends from Beacon Point follow the trail, suspicion falls in painful places, testing friendships and the fragile line between justice and kindness.
Warm, sharp and quietly moving, The Missing Minutes is Book Three of the Kōwhai Bay Mysteries: a cozy mystery novella about trust, integrity, and the cost of reading the fine print when everyone else would rather look away.
Perfect for fans of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club.
