About the Hope Street Church Mysteries Series

Ellery Adams‘ very series Hope Street Church Mysteries is just books that mix mystery, friendship, and a bit of faith in a way that feels real. The main character is Cooper Lee, a normal woman who’s feeling stuck. She works fixing copy machines and lives in an apartment above her parents’ garage. After her long-term boyfriend leaves her, she doesn’t really know what to do next.

Looking for a change, she decides to join a Bible study group at a church called Hope Street. At first, she just wants to meet new people—but then someone from the group is murdered. That’s when everything changes.

Even though Cooper has never done anything like this before, she starts getting involved in solving the crime. She works with a small group of people from the church. They’re a bit odd in their own ways, but kind and supportive. Together, they try to figure out what really happened.

With passage of the chapters, solving misteries is not the main focus. Cooper starts to discover more about herself. She has genuine friendships and faces difficult decisions. The narratives revolve around a small town and the characters feel as if they are people you would know. There are true feelings, shocks, and sincere situations.

These stories are not just concentrating on the crime that the protagonists commit but also the means of survival that includes injury recovery and the pursuit of hope while battling the burdens of life. If you appreciate feel-good, humorous mysteries with a prominent community element, you may absolutely enjoy this series.
