Popis produktu

The New York Times bestselling author returns with a mystery with a touch of magical realism and a strong, female bookstore owner and bibliotherapist at its heart.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 hasnÂ’t come to gloat, though. As it turns out, sheÂ’s been dumped too. SheÂ’s also terribly ill, and all she wants from Nora is forgiveness.Shockingly, however, this woman whoÂ’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 doesnÂ’t stop the gossip and suspicion—especially after KellyÂ’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 sheriffÂ’s department, but theyÂ’ve barely begun their probe when life throws another wrench. After serving a twenty-year sentence, EstellaÂ’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.“Red herrings abound along with plenty of tips on choosing books.” —Kirkus Reviews
