In New York Times bestselling author Ellery Adams’
intriguing new Secret, Book, and Scone Society novel, Nora
Pennington and her fiction loving friends in small-town
Miracle Springs, North Carolina, encounter a young woman
desperately in need of a new beginning . . .
Nora Pennington, owner of Miracle Books, believes that a
well-chosen novel can bring healing and hope. But she and
the other members of the Secret, Book, and Scone Society
know that sometimes, practical help is needed too. Such is
the case with the reed-thin girl hiding in the fiction
section of Nora’s store, wearing a hospital ID and a
patchwork of faded bruises. She calls herself Abilene, and
though Nora and her friends offer work, shelter, and a
supportive ear, their guest isn’t ready to divulge her
secrets. But when a customer is found dead in an assumed
suicide, Nora uncovers a connection that points to Abilene
as either a
suspect—or another target.
Summer’s end has brought other new arrivals to Miracle
Springs too. Entrepreneur Griffin Kingsley opens Virtual
Genie, a cyber business that unloads people’s unwanted goods
for cash. With the town in an economic slump and folks
hurting for money, Virtual Genie and its owner are both
instantly popular. A patient listener, Griffin dispenses
candy to children and strong coffee to adults, and seems
like a bona fide gentleman. But Nora’s not inclined to judge
a book by its cover. And when a second death hits town, Nora
and her intrepid friends must help the new, greenhorn
sheriff discern fact from fiction—and stop a killer intent
on bringing another victim’s story to a close . . .
