She audits the books.
Now she’s reading a murder.
Savannah Stevens spent eight years solving financial puzzles for Fortune 500 companies before she walked away and came home. At thirty-two she runs Stevens CPA, Tax, and Accounting, the only Black-owned CPA firm in Brightcloud, Texas, built one client at a time.
Then her accountant is murdered after a meeting he was warned to tell no one about, and the clue that names his killer turns out to have been sitting on his desk the whole time.
Because Clarence was an accountant. And accountants notice things.
Clarence looked up. The person crossing the empty coffee shop toward him was not a stranger. It was someone he knew, someone he had trusted, and for one confused second the fear went out of him and left only surprise.
“What! You sent me those texts?”
Those were the last words Clarence would ever speak.

I spent most of my career looking for the number that didn’t belong. That is what auditors do. You go through a stack of records everyone swears is fine, and somewhere in there sits a figure that doesn’t fit the story. Find it, and you find out what really happened.
It took me a while to realize I had been writing mysteries the whole time.
I grew up in Chatham, Louisiana, small enough that everybody knew everybody’s business, or thought they did. I served in the United States Air Force. I built a career in auditing and accounting, spent years in education, and I now live in San Antonio, Texas.
Mystery in Brightcloud is my first novel. I write the kind of mystery I like to read: faith, family, and long friendship carry as much weight as the crime, the people feel like people you actually know, and the killer turns out to be standing exactly where you weren’t looking.
I am at work on the next one.
