What readers say
Ellery Adams is best known for book-loving cozy mysteries, including the Book Retreat series set at a literary resort and the Secret, Book & Scone Society. Readers love her bookish settings and references, likeable small-town casts, family warmth and twisty puzzles, and many happily follow her series for years. Common criticisms are plots that swerve into secret societies and action scenes that feel far-fetched for a cozy, settings that feel oddly old-fashioned, loose ends, slow middles and a slightly affected writing style.
Best for: Readers who want cozy mysteries steeped in books and reading.
