Ellery Adams has done it again. Another fantastic work with characters you would love to know, settings you wish you could visit in real life, and a great mystery plot full of twists and turns.

The first book in a nice new cozy series, this book starts the story of Storyton Hall, a retreat for book lovers and bookworms. The resort features all things books, and when a guest (or two) suddenly die in pursuit of a special book, Jane Steward, niece of the owners and manager of the resort, discovers deep family secrets that will change her life and the lives of her six-year-old twins forever. This book is a great start to the series, which promises to be excellent.
