A post about the mayor’s regatta triumph contains a phrase Neri has read in her grandmother’s private journal. The full passage tells a more complicated story, and a cropped photograph points to a blue notebook missing since Iris’s funeral.

Each Sunday brings a fresh exposure and a different consequence: customers ask for a notorious cake, a committee worries about a dance, an old photograph restores someone who was folded away. Neri follows the material through a family loan and a polished heritage project while her assistant comes under suspicion.

When a revelation concerns Iris herself, Neri can no longer treat the account as simply an attack on a beloved woman. The Sunday List follows the complete investigation through eight connected episodes, closing the identity and source mysteries at a public gathering where nobody is required to perform forgiveness. A missing book can be returned. The things people have already read cannot be made unread.
