Ink and Shadows

By: Ellery Adams

Narrated by: Cris Dukehart

Nora Pennington is known for her window displays, and as Halloween approaches, she decides to showcase fictional heroines like Roald Dahl’s Matilda and Madeline Miller’s Circe. A family-values group disapproves of the magical themes though and wastes no time launching a modern-day witch hunt. Suddenly, former friends and customers are targeting not only Nora and Miracle Books, but a new shopkeeper, Celeste, who’s been selling CBD oil products. Nora and her friends in the Secret, Book, and Scone Society are doing their best to put an end to the strife - but then someone puts an end to a life.

Though the death is declared an accident, the ruling can’t explain the old book page covered with strange symbols and disturbing drawings left under Nora’s doormat, a postcard from an anonymous stalker, or multiple cases of vandalism. The only hope is that Nora can be a heroine herself and lead the Secret, Book, and Scone Society in a successful investigation - before more bodies turn up and the secrets from Celeste’s past come back to haunt them all....

Great friendships

This is a good mystery. The characters are engaging. If you are a book lover you’ll like this book.

Narrator was distracting.

At times it was hard to distinguish which character she was speaking for. Story was good. I’m enjoying listening to the series.

an ok addition

the writer is trying to provide character development to the main people, but it's coming across kind of muddled. there were a LOT of themes in the book and I feel like it would have been more cohesive if it had more focus to it

Sometimes a Great Listen

If you love books, food, mysteries, and friendships, then you'll adore this author's work! I dare you!

A spellbinding tale

Each book in this series gets better and better. I can't wait to read the next one.
