But, all four women have troubled pasts that make them scared of getting close to others. The four women decide to investigate Neil’s death since the local sheriff isn’t inclined. June had recommended bibliotherapy to Neil after the springs failed to alleviate his worries. Nora, Hester, and Estella meet June, who works at the springs. His business partners just happened to be on the train that hit him.
Nora is immediately suspicious because Neil confided he was involved in some shady business and was thinking of confessing to the police. Later that day, Nora is told by local hair stylist Estella that Neil was hit by a train in an apparent suicide. Nora recommends he purchase a comfort scone and return for a bibliotherapy session. The book begins with a property developer named Neil visiting Nora’s bookshop because he wants her help. Hester, after talking with a customer, makes a custom “comfort scone” that will remind the customer of long-forgotten happy memories.
Aiding Nora’s bibliotherapy is local baker Hester. If the books are read in the prescribed order, they should help the customer resolve their problems. As a bibliotherapist, Nora listens to her customers’ troubles and then prescribes a series of books. The main character, Nora Pennington, owns the local bookstore and is a “bibliotherapist”. The water from Miracle Springs is reported to have healing powers so people flock to the town. The Secret, Book, and Scone Society is a cozy mystery about four women trying to solve a murder in the small town of Miracle Springs, North Carolina.
