When forensic accountant Olivia Mercer inherits her estranged father's decaying seaside cottage, she expects dust, debts, and grief - not a cryptic leather-bound ledger laced with secrets. As she deciphers its coded entries, she uncovers decades of hidden transactions tied to Briar Hollow Retreat, an abandoned commune whispered about in town with fear and loathing. Locals warn her to leave the past buried. Anonymous threats escalate from ominous postcards to chilling tokens left on her doorstep. But Olivia's relentless pursuit of the truth reveals far more than corruption; it unearths a shadowy conspiracy woven into her own family's hidden history - a legacy of manipulation, cult-like rituals, and lives lost to darkness. Now hunted by those who would kill to keep Briar Hollow's secrets sealed, Olivia must decide: is uncovering the truth worth risking her sanity, her life, and the fragile memories of the family she never truly knew? Dark, atmospheric, and razor-sharp in its suspense, The Widow's Ledger is a haunting thriller about buried legacies, the lies that bind communities, and the cost of unearthing long-forgotten truths.
Morgan Ash writes unsettling, atmospheric thrillers that peel back the layers of human darkness to reveal what festers beneath. Her debut novel, The Confession Tapes, introduced readers to her signature blend of psychological suspense and haunting revelations, as one woman inherited a crumbling farmhouse-and a collection of tapes revealing a killer's chilling confessions. Her newest release, Gravel Hollow, delves deeper into Appalachia's hidden histories, where an outsider's search for solace unearths secrets that the mountains have guarded for centuries, secrets soaked in blood, betrayal, and ancient debts. Morgan's next novel, Gravel Hollow, continues her exploration of the sinister undercurrents that flow beneath quiet rural towns, promising readers an even darker journey into folklore, legacy, and horror. When not writing, Morgan can be found researching regional folklore, exploring abandoned places, and drinking black coffee strong enough to wake the dead.
