It was a dark, rainy night at Nora Penningtons Miracle Books when a mysterious death brings the Secret, Book, and Scone Society into the Halloween season on the trail of a murderer . . . As the residents of Miracle Springs, North Carolina, select their costumes, plan parties, and get excited for a night of tricks or treats, Nora joins in on the festivities by hosting medium memoirist Lara Luz at the bookstore. Charismatic and compelling, Lara mesmerizes the audience with her life story. Struck by a bolt of lightning as a child, she was pronounced dead only to be resurrected with the ability to connect with those on the other side. Lara performs a reading for a select group of bookstore patrons when the encroaching storm knocks out the power. In the sudden darkness, howling cold winds intensify, and Lara clutches her heart, collapsing dead without warning. But Nora doesnt believe she died of natural causes. Not one member of the psychics reading groupwhich includes the towns widower pharmacist, an urgent care nurse, a mystery author, and even truculent Deputy Hollowellwere admirers of Lara. Nora confirms this when she stumbles upon Laras journal in the aftermath of her death. For within its leathery bound pages are the medium and her clients deepest and darkest secrets, written in code. Now, Nora and the Secret, Book, and Scone Society must sift through the suspects and their motives to uncover which one of them is a killer before he or she is tempted to strike again . . .

I was able to get the Libby audiobook of this 8th book in the Secret, Book & Scone Society cozy mystery series right as it came out.🏆 I really love the MC, Nora & her bookstore & close knit group of friends who are just as much her family. In this one, a psychic is murder after giving a book talk & while doing readings in the store & Nora & the crew are on the case. This book feels a bit transitional for some of the ⬇️

DebinHawaii … characters, including Nora & I‘m hoping the series will continue. I‘ll definitely be here for it. I mostly read these in ebook form but I liked the narration well enough & it was a good car/run errands book to dip back into. 12h
BethM I got stuck at the book where they introduced the new female LEO that was horrible. 8h
