In Dying to Sell by Ellery Adams and Tina Radcliffe, the warmth of friendship and the steady thread of faith come together in a story that’s equal parts charming and suspenseful.

I love how this series brings together real, relatable characters. The comforting backdrop of Scripture-filled conversations feels like coming home. These stories gently remind me how faith can weave through every puzzle, every prayer, and every gathering around the kitchen table. Cooper and her friends in the Bible study group have become like old friends to me, and it’s always bittersweet to close the final chapter and say goodbye for a little while.

This time, the real estate atmosphere gave the mystery an extra spark—rich with intrigue, hidden motives, and a hint of danger. It made the warm kitchen and faithful conversations feel even more like home. In the midst of suspects and secrets, the story never strays far from the heart of faith, where gratitude and trust in God guide every step.

This series has captured that warm, cozy feeling of Bible study friends and their community. Faith is present, gently woven throughout and it’s paired with a delightfully suspenseful edge that keeps me coming back. The characters, the humor, the gentle call to live out our faith … it all wraps together into a story that’s as satisfying as Grammy Lee’s recipes from Magnolia’s kitchen.

Dying to Sell left me with a smile, a grateful prayer, and a reminder that God’s light shines brightest when we gather together to unravel life’s mysteries—big and small.
