Rest in Peach

By Susan Furlong
Rest in Peach by Susan Furlong digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

In the refreshing new Georgia Peach Mystery from the author of Peaches and Scream, an upcoming debutante ball turns into the pits when a juicy murder scandalizes a small town.

The annual Peach Cotillion, Cays Mill, Georgia’s biggest event, is fast approaching and Nola Mae Harper is just as excited as the rest of the town—even though she’s busy juggling both the cotillion dinner and the grand opening of her new shop, Peachy Keen. But she never expected that plans for the cotillion would end up in the pits because of the cutthroat competition between local debutantes.
 
When Vivien Crenshaw, insufferable church organist and despised mother of the town’s spoiled-rotten Peach Queen, is stabbed to death, the police turn to Nola’s friend Ginny as prime suspect. Apparently the two had fought over a one-of-a-kind cotillion gown. As Nola steps in to prove Ginny’s innocence she soon finds herself picking through a bushel of suspects, twice as many motives, and at the mercy of a killer all too keen on killing again.

Rest in Peach Reviews

3.5
“I really like cozy mysteries because they involve recipes! This is not a literary masterpiece. It was not deep. But it was cute small town southern life murder drama. I enjoyed this book for what it was. This is book 2 in the Georgia Peach Mystery series. I started this series because I needed a book set in GA for a challenge prompt. Nola Mae is back in the small town she grew up in. She is once again stepping on the sheriff's toes and investigating a murder. What I liked: the recipes! I love the small town feel and the close friendships. What I didn't like: Nola is in the beginnings of a second chance romance with her first love but she "thinks" far more sexual things about her bad boy ex than she does about Cade, her golden retriever first love. And Cade sees it. Also, I know this is a book set in Georgia but it bothers me that there was a Tara and a Vivian in the book. Georgia is more than Gone With The Wind.”
