SUMMARY:Author Event with Ellery Adams
DESCRIPTION:Thursday November 12 – 5:00-6:30 PM EDT\nPrice: Free\nRegistration: Seating is limited; please call to reserve your spot: 843-379-7025.\nVenue: Pat Conroy Literary Center | 601 Bladen St.\, Beaufort \nABOUT THE BOOK:\nIn the latest of Ellery Adams’ USA Today bestselling series\, as clouds gather over the Great Smoky Mountains\, an absent groom\, a stolen historical document\, and a book club coming apart at the seams stir up a different sort of storm in this engaging mystery. How far will one book lover go to keep a secret?  \nAs the townsfolk of Miracle Springs\, North Carolina\, know all too well\, water can be healing—or devastating. With a big storm coming\, residents are stocking up on essentials. Hoping to beat the storm\, Nora is sitting in the Unitarian Church with her fellow wedding guests\, all of whom belong to Sheldon’s Blind Date Book Club. As rain hammers the stained-glass windows\, the bride\, Jess\, waits in the back of the church—but where is the groom? When a branch crashes through a stained-glass window\, Jess finally tells the guests to go home.\nWith the help of her friend Sheldon\, Nora escorts Jess to the Lodge. It’s now become clear that Jess’s fiancé Ravi is missing. But there’s no searching for him now\, as the Miracle River has flooded and they’re stuck on this side of town. By morning\, they awaken to widespread devastation and a call from Sherriff McCabe. A body has been pulled out of the river\, dressed in a tux.\nOn top of tragic turn of events\, Jess returns home to find her house has been spared from the raging water\, but ransacked\, with an extremely valuable folio from an illuminated manuscript now missing. As Miracle Books becomes the community hub for information\, shelter\, and hope\, Nora and the Secret\, Book\, and Scone Society put their heads together to solve the murder and the theft.\nBut then a second body is pulled from the river…  \nABOUT THE AUTHOR:\nEllery Adams is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of more than 40 mystery novels\, including the Book Retreat Mysteries\, The Secret\, Book\, and Scone Society series\, and the Books by the Bay Mysteries. A native of New York\, she grew up on a beach near the Long Island Sound. She now lives with her husband and two children in Chapel Hill\, North Carolina\, so she considers herself “baked in the North and buttered in the South.” For more information\, reading guides\, and bibliotherapy lists\, please visit www.elleryadamsbooks.com.
