Nola Mae Harper has traveled the world with her job, but
now returns home to her family's peach farm for her
parents' anniversary. Unfortunately, a murder on the farm
now lands Nola smack in the middle of the investigation,
particularly when her brother-in-law is the prime
suspect. Can Nola uncover the identity of the murderer
while keeping the family's peach farm afloat?
PEACHES AND SCREAM is the first book in the Georgia
Peach Mystery series and oh, what a great start it
is! Susan Furlong introduces readers to the sleepy town
of Cays Mill, Georgia, where gossip is practically a way
of life. Meeting the residents and visiting their
businesses is half the fun as Susan Furlong does a
marvelous job at bringing Cays Mill to life.
The characters in PEACHES AND SCREAM are both delightful
and have a surprising amount of complexity for the first
book in a series. I love the way Nola and her family
stick together, even when Hollis is doing nothing to earn
their loyalty. Susan Furlong really captures the heart of
Southern traditions in her characters, including the
small touches such as the food deliveries. However, it is
the Georgia Belle facts that made me smile the most as
they are both humorous and quite accurate.
PEACHES AND SCREAM is a fantastic start to a new cozy
mystery series and I look forward to revisiting Cays Mill
in future books. From the yummy sounding recipes to the
wonderful ambiance of Cays Mill, PEACHES AND SCREAM has
it all!
In the first Georgia Peach Mystery, when murder
threatens her family’s orchard, Nola Harper is ready
to pick out the killer and preserve the farm’s reputation…
To help run the family peach farm during her parents’ absence,
Nola Harper returns to her childhood home of Cays
Mill, Georgia, and soon discovers that things back at the farm
aren’t exactly peachy. A poor harvest and rising
costs are threatening to ruin the Harpers’ livelihood, and
small-town gossip is spreading like blight thanks to
Nola’s juicy reputation as a wild teenager way back when. But
Nola really finds herself in the pits when she
stumbles upon a local businessman murdered among the peach
trees.
With suspicions and family tensions heating up faster than a
cobbler in the oven, this sweet Georgia peach will
have to prune through a list of murder suspects—before she too
becomes ripe for the killer’s picking…
