His Careful Little Lies

Priya Shah married a man who came home at seven and kept every receipt. That was the plan. Then a stranger walks into her yoga studio with a bank statement — eleven years of monthly transfers from her husband's account to a name Priya has never heard, ending the week they met. Priya does what she is best at. She organizes. And what she finds is a second flat, a second woman, and a third name, one small enough to be a child's. Eleven years of quiet payments. Eleven years of careful, well-filed lies. On Sunday, she confronts him with the paperwork. He doesn't apologize. A psychological thriller of secrets, lies, and betrayal about a marriage that was never quite a crime.
