Nora Pennington often finds herself in some tough situations, but she has great friends, her bookstore, and a boyfriend. However her past she though she left behind a decade before has caught up with her. After a shock of her life, a body is found and she is the prime suspect. She has to prove her innocence.

This book is probably my favorite so far. We discover so much more about Nora’s past. We also get to know a few new characters. One of the new characters could be a new favorite secondary character and another one is one you will love to hate. All the characters are relatable in some way. The mystery is well plotted with plenty of surprises. I recommend this book to mystery lovers.

All thoughts and opinions are my own, and I have not been by anyone.

The Vanishing Type by Ellery Adams is the 5th book in The Secret, Book, & Scone Society and I believe this is one of my favorite series! I absolutely loved getting to visit Nora and the gang again.
Nora is helping plan a surprise engagement, there is a body found with an old book, and several more books from the series is showing up in odd places. Nora believes everything connected but can she prove it? I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a good book for that perfect escape.

The Secret, Book, and Scone Society members are back with another mystery to solve. This comes a little closer to home for one of the members. Hester gets engaged but her happiness seems short lived as she’s worried about telling her fiancé her secret she’s been keeping. Meanwhile Nora is feeling a little concerned about a series of events that have been turning up…a dead body of a stranger, books in her store vandalized, and a series of books that keep turning around town seemingly for Nora to find.

Author Ellery Adams has once again crafted a beautiful story about friendship, books, and of course mystery. The characters are each flawed in their own right but this makes them realistic, relatable, and interesting. The mystery is full of red herrings and suspense to keep glue to the book until the mystery is solved. The secondary story or stories are equally as well-written as it takes you on an emotional journey at times they don’t overwhelm the reader with too much going on. The storylines are seamlessly woven together to give the reader a wonderful escape into the town of Miracle Springs, NC and it’s residents.

All thoughts and opinions are my own, and in no way have I been influenced by anyone.

The Vanishing Type is the fifth book in the Secret, Book & Scone Society series by Ellery Adams.

It’s January in Miracle Springs, North Carolina and Deputy Andrews asks Nora Pennington to help him plan his wedding proposal. While excited for her friend, there are mutilated books in her shop and a series of books mysteriously showing up around town that has her on edge.

This is a wonderful series. I love that the women are older and all have had difficulties they overcame. This book can be read as a stand-alone, but if you read the series from the beginning, you get to see the friendships develop. This certainly had a surprise ending. I like how it all wrapped up and look forward to seeing the repercussion from some of the decisions the women made.

Thank you to the author, Kensington Books, and NetGalley for the free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
