The Whispered Word

The Whispered Word (2018) Ellery Adams (Secret, Book, & Scone Society)

Nora Pennington came to Miracle Springs, NC and opened a bookstore. In Miracle Books she often tries to help people by recommending them just the right books to help them with their problems. With the friends she made in the last book, they are going to give secret care packages to people in need, except that they end up discovering a dead body.

Additionally, a young homeless woman comes asking for a job, and Nora knows trouble is following her.

I enjoy the women and their friendship.

Estella, sensing that this was a good time to call attention to herself, picked up a maple butter blondie and took a large bite out of it. She chewed. She moaned. She glared at Hester.

“If I keep eating like this, I’m going to turn into a sweet person. Being sweet is not one of my life goals.”

It’s a cute cozy–a potato chip story. Not sure if I’ll ever want to reread, but I think I will want to read the next book.
