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!
Book Summary
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…
