Between 3 and 4 stars. It took me awhile to get into it; I would try to read it and get bored and leave it for a bit. I don't think it was the book's fault, I think it was just me. It wasn't until I got around halfway through that I finally got interested enough to finish it.

I loved the setting; a magical resort town with bewitching scones that tempt you with good memories, a bookshop where you find just the right book you need, and a relaxing spa that soothes away your tensions and stress. Who wouldn't love that? All of the main characters have a secret they've kept for years, a painful moment of their lives they don't dare reveal. Nora wears her secret on the outside; having been seriously burned in a car accident, her scars hint at a story she'd rather not reveal. The others have their own secret pain and when they band together to solve the death of a stranger in town who clearly had secrets of his own, The Secret, Book, and Scone Society is born. Together, the 4 women untangle the web of lies surrounding the stranger's death and in the process, begin the healing process themselves.
