Rest in Peach by Susan Furlong


















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.

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review by Layla

Rest in Peach is an excellent example of what a cozy mystery should be. I loved seeing Nola back in action and working toward her new goals. I enjoyed the fun and witty storyline as well as the great murder mystery that occurs in this story. The storylines are fresh and fun, they also show true southern flair at its finest. This story is a perfect for curling up in a chair while drinking a glass of sweet tea.  Nola is busy setting up her new storefront when she dragged away by her friend Ginny and her daughter Emily. Chaos breaks out when it's discovered only one debutante gown was ordered for two girls, and a bitter and heated argument between Ginny and Vivian Crenshaw is witnessed by everyone in the dress shop. So when Vivian is found the following day murdered the towns single minded sheriff is focused on Ginny's guilt. Can Nola and Ginny find the real killer before Ginny's life and the debutante ball is ruined or are things exactly as they seem.
