Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to help spotlight and talk about the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read or have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. Find out more here. I found out about this weekly event from Socrates Book Review, a blog I enjoy.
Ellery Adams books are always on my must-be-read list. They immediately make my TBR and then I try to wait patiently until I can get my eyes on them.
The Liars’ Book Club is expected to be published by Poisoned Pen Press on October 27, 2026.
This cozy mystery is the 9th book in the Secret, Book & Scone Society series. I have given this entire series a solid 5 stars so far, and I am hoping this book is no exception. I love Miracle Springs, North Carolina and all the members of the Secret, Book, and Scone Society.
Here is the Goodreads book blurb/synopsis:
In the latest installment 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Ellery Adams’ USA Today bestselling series, as clouds gather over the Great Smoky Mountains, an absent groom, a stolen historical document, and a book club coming apart at the seams stir up a different sort of storm in this engaging mystery.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?
As 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.
With 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 Sheriff McCabe. A body has been pulled out of the river, dressed in a tux.
On top of this 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.
But then a second body is pulled from the river . . .
My thoughts:
I honestly cannot wait to read this book. I somehow forgot to look on Netgalley to see if I could get an advanced copy. The only good thing about that is that I still have it to look forward to. I am going to savor every minute of this read.
I am always looking for new books and I love getting recs from people who’ve read something they really enjoyed.
Is there something you’re looking forward to read recently that you loved?
If so, please let me know.
