Praise for the Book Retreat Mystery Series by Ellery Adams: “A literary mystery with a puckish hint of Nancy Drew.” —Kirkus Reviews on Murder On The Poet's Walk “Love Chopped and mysteries? This delightful character-driven cozy is just the treat for you.” —Kirkus Reviews on Murder in the Cookbook Nook “Creating a group of suspects that will keep readers intrigued until the last page, Ellery Adams has proven one thing with this book: this is one series that should and will go on for a long time to come. In fact, the author has done such a brilliant job, readers will find themselves wanting to live in Storyton, no matter how many people end up dead there.” —Suspense Magazine on Murder in the Locked Library “Ellery does a wonderful job in capturing the essence of this whodunit with a visually descriptive narrative that not only lends itself to engaging dialogue but also seeing the action through the eyes of Jane and her fellow characters.” —Dru’s Book Musings “Combines clever clues, a smart and courageous heroine, and an interesting setting in a whodunit that will inspire readers to make further visits to Storyton Hall.” —The Richmond Times-Dispatch on Murder in the Paperback Parlor “This enchanting blend of mystery and fantasy succeeds in feeling timely and grounded, although few budding librarians would have sword training on their résumé. Book and mystery lovers alike will rejoice in this extraordinarily unique, exuberantly fun series.” —Kings River Life Magazine on Murder in the Locked Library “Adams hooks the reader into the story instantly... I highly recommend booking a room at Storyton Hall and hanging out with Jane, her great-aunt, and uncle, the employees who are family, and her girlfriends, The Cover Girls.” —Cozy Mystery Book Reviews on Murder in the Reading Room
