stainedsouth 's review for:
The Secret, Book & Scone Society
by Ellery Adams
I am on the fence about this one. There were some things that I liked - it was nice to have a cozy set in a small North Carolina town; I liked that Nora, the owner of Miracle Books, lived in a refurbished train car; and the fact that there was a little magical realism. (Admit it, chatting with customers to learn about their lives and then giving them books to read as bibliotherapy is a pretty cool idea, not to mention 'magical' scones fresh baked to help to heal people. )
What I am on the fence about is the way the story flowed - the reasons for the murder seemed a bit forced; some of the townspeople came off as caricatures to me (Sheriff Toad); and, really, does Nora have to find friends, Hester, Estella and June, AND a love interest in one fell swoop?
But it is the first in the series and could just get better and better. I just haven't decided if I am going find out.
