Scones, Books, etc

Cozy mystery.  Main character is former librarian who was in a terrible accident and suffered burns that disfigure her. She owns a bookstore and gives "book counseling. She meets an interesting man, sends him to a nearby scone shop for a comfort scone, and awaits his arrival at her bookstore.  Only he dies . . . did he jump in front of a train or was he pushed?
Four women become detectives.  Nora, Bookseller and Estella, local tramp are two most compelling so far.
