After finishing the first book in this series several months ago, I was excited to pick up the next volume and see if Adams continued to pull me in to the lives of the Secret, Book, and Scones Society. There are some moments that seem to work out just too perfectly or people sometimes seem too 'x' to be realistic. However, the overall acre and suspense of the story kept me reading. As a book lover myself, I love how each chapter begins with a quote from an author or from a book as well as titles and authors sprinkled throughout the novel. I also appreciated even more in this book all the mouthwatering descriptions and attention paid to food and the role it can play in our lives. And, I enjoyed seeing the deepening of the friendship between these female friends.

If you're a book lover but aren't sure if mystery is for you, give this series a try.
