“A love letter to reading, with sharp characterizations and a smart central mystery.” 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. 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. She calls herself Abilene but won’t reveal much else. 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. But she and the other members of the Secret, Book, and Scone Society know that sometimes practical help is needed too. Nora Pennington, owner of Miracle Books, believes that a well-chosen novel can bring healing and hope. 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.
