In Adams’ new book, The Tattered Cover, the next in her series The Secret, Book and Scone Society, death and murder will find Nora’s Miracle Springs bookshop, Miracle Books. But along with solving a murder, uncovering hidden secrets and placing terrific book recommendations into the story, there will also be a great deal of joy as in this story we also have a wedding and a birth!
It’s Fall and Halloween is literally right around the corner. So, Nora has decided to add book signings to her repertoire of trying to get more customers. The first went very well and now for Halloween she has a medium coming to not only sign her new book, but for some lucky patrons who pay extra, an actual reading!
But unfortunately, a tragedy occurs while medium Lara Luz is giving a reading. During a storm the lights in the shop go out and when they come back on Lara is clutching her chest and dies! Not only that but Nora is knocked down and ends up hospitalized.
Nora’s instinct tells her this was no ordinary heart attack and she, her boyfriend the Sherriff and her Book and Scone Society friends begin to delve into the past life of medium Lara Luz. Along the way, they discover a tattered handwritten ledger with symbols and notes which make absolutely no sense.
The list of suspects includes their own pharmacist whose wife had recently died, and Lara’s assistant Enzo who travels with her as her companion. There just seems to be no link between Miracle Springs and Lara Luz.
At the same time, the women are preparing for not only a special delivery, but also a wedding! Except that one of them is in the wrong place at the wrong time. And by wrong time, time is running out for one of them. They need to solve this murder and fast because they may lose one of their own!
