Series: Secret, Book, and Scone Society

Bookstore owner, bibliotherapist and amateur sleuth Nora Pennington and fellow members of the Secret, Book, and Scone Society encounter a mysterious young girl who may be connected to several suspicious local deaths in the second novel in New York Times and B&N bestselling mystery author Ellery Adams' acclaimed series.

Join New York Times bestselling author Ellery Adams for a sparkling new cozy mystery series featuring a librarian-turned-bookseller with a penchant for bibliotherapy and a sideline in solving crime...

Set in the picturesque town of Miracle Springs, North Carolina, The Whispered Word is the second in The Secret, Book, & Scone Society Series by New York Times bestselling author Ellery Adams. This magincal cozy mystery stars bookstore owner, and budding detective, Nora Pennington. Nora also has a gift for bibliotherapy- the practice of using reading as therapy to help treat mental or psychological issues. While people visit Miracle Springs for healing treatments, it's Nora who helps them find peace by prescribing the perfect book along with a fresh-baked scone...in return for divulging one secret. After all, sometimes the key to happiness, friendship--or solving a murder--can simply be found within the pages of the right book.

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 but won't reveal much else. And 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. After 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 . . .

""A love letter to reading, with sharp characterizations and a smart central mystery.""
