In the latest in the mystery series hailed as “a
love letter to reading” (Entertainment Weekly)
from New York Times bestselling author Ellery
Adams, Nora Pennington helps her bookstore customers find
healing through the perfect book—while solving the
town’s real-life murders with the help of her Secret,
Book, and Scone Society members. Just a touch of magical
realism and strong, female-driven stories are winning this
series raves from readers and fans of Kate Carlisle and
Lorna Barrett.
Miracle Springs, North Carolina,
is famed for its healing springs. But bookstore owner Nora
Pennington has a tendency to land in a different kind of hot
water. Though she loves to practice bibliotherapy by finding
the perfect books for her customers while listening to their
secrets, she also likes to bury her nose in the occasional
local crime . . .
Nora escaped her past a decade
ago. So it feels like a visit from another world when Kelly
Walsh—the woman her ex-husband left her
for—walks through the door of Miracle Books along with
her son, a sweet, serious boy with a talent for origami.
Kelly hasn’t come to gloat, though. As it turns out,
she’s been dumped too. She’s also terribly ill,
and all she wants from Nora is forgiveness.
Shockingly, however, this woman who’s been the
victim of so much misfortune is about to become a murder
victim. Who would do such a thing? Certainly not Nora, but
that doesn’t stop the gossip and
suspicion—especially after Kelly’s brother
claims that he saw the two women arguing.
In seeking justice for Kelly, The Secret, Book, and Scone
Society joins forces with the sheriff’s department,
but they’ve barely begun their probe when life throws
another wrench. After serving a twenty-year sentence,
Estella’s father returns to Miracle Springs. And
when his past comes back to haunt him, it might be
more than the four friends can handle.
