The Little Lost Library

A Secret, Book, & Scone Society Novel, Book 7

De: Ellery Adams

Narrado por: Cris Dukehart

When an elderly Miracle Springs resident, Lucille Wynter, arranges for Nora to deliver an order of books to her creepy, crumbling Southern Gothic mansion, Nora doesn't expect to be invited in. An agoraphobic, Lucille doesn't leave Wynter House. Nor does she invite anyone inside. But when Lucille doesn't come to the door to collect her books, Nora begins to worry.

Forcing her way into Lucille's dilapidated home, Nora is shocked to find rooms packed to the ceiling with decaying books and a lifeless Lucille at the foot of her stairs. After reading a note left behind by Lucille, Nora wonders if her death was an accident. Did Lucille fall or was she pushed by someone seeking a valuable item? Lucille's children are clearly confident the house contains something of value, because they hire Nora to sift through the piles of books. As she digs, Nora can't shake the feeling that hoarding didn't cause Lucille's fall.

Nora does find something valuable deep inside Wynter House—a revelation about Lucille's terrible past . . . and a secret worth a small fortune. But there's someone who'd do anything to keep the truth buried amid the moldering tomes. The odds against them are stacked as high as the books, but it's up to Nora and her friends to track down a murderer with a literary lean before Wynter House's lost library claims another victim.

The Best One Yet

I absolutely love this series, but this latest book is the best one yet. Simply magical. The mystery kept me on my toes until the end. Can’t wait for the next one.

One of her best

I find some of her books mundane and unimaginative, but this one was quite exceptional. If you’re not sure, give it a try.

The joy of reading

Loved the book and how there is complete closure. The narrator‘s is very entertaining and pleasant to listen to.

A good listen with twists to it

I enjoy the twist and turns of this book and the narrator. She does a very good job with the voices and just her inflections in her reading style.

Losing its luster

This story was pretty weak on the characters. Not many of the familiar, beloved characters were used for this one. It’s also feeling a little formulaic. Nora is getting annoying with all of her secret keeping, despite what she should’ve learned about how keeping secrets does her no favors. I learned a few things about little libraries from this book, but I hate to say that was probably the best part of it.

Bravery, Friendship, love

As always another amazing read/listen. Nora is my favorite character and provide much discussion for my daughter and I.

Enjoyable storyline

I enjoyed this story very much. The major characters truly care for those they meet. They try to help in subtle ways. It’s fascinating. The story itself has interesting twists and turns and an intriguing ending.

Great !

I love the story about mental illnesses and how important the people in our family affects all of us growing up.
Thank you and bravo!

Another Great Read!

I love her books! Each is so original and the narration is perfect! The plot was great!

Love it!!

I have enjoyed all of these audiobooks. But I think this is my favorite. Can’t wait for the next one.
