I really enjoyed this story, and Ellery Adams always delivers with just the right amount of heart, mystery, intrigue, friendship, and coziness. Excellent story and I am already looking forward to the next in the series!

I really loved this book. This series is such a cozy place to revisit time and time again because of the strength of the bond of the characters. Nora reminds herself time and time again how lucky she is to find herself surrounded by loved ones and how their past traumas have brought them closer. She also runs the most ideal and lovely sounding book shop that I wish I could visit.
This was a complex mystery with various moving and literary pieces. I was truly stumped as to how everything was going to relate to each other (or just be coincidence) and appreciated how it all came together. The emotions run deep in this series and this one is no exception. Though there were a lot of tough situations and revelations, I loved how deep this story got in addition to all the investigating. I also really love seeing the different relationships the characters have (both friendly and romantic) and how those are maturing and evolving. I’m already hoping for happier times in the next book.

With each book in this series I read, I feel more and more like a member of the Secret, Book, and Scone Society. I could be friends with all of the ladies for various reasons. I feel like Ellery Adams is the Debbie Macomber of cozy mysteries. Her depth of character creation are what keep drawing me back into the world, not the mysteries themselves, although they are always entertaining and I love trying to figure them out.
The literary references throughout each book always make me smile and add more books to my TBR. I wish I could walk through Miracle Books, grab a mug of Harry Potter hot chocolate, and chat with Nora and Sheldon.
Thank you to Kensington Books and TLC Book Tours for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
