Rest in Peach by Susan Furlong

5.0

I am loving my book selection lately! This was yet another one that had me enthralled from the beginning! The only thing that threw me off was that it was narrated on Audible by the same person who narrated LowCountry Boomerang which I read a couple weeks ago. I had to keep reminding myself of the characters because she had the same Southern accent for both books.

Nola Mae Harper is getting ready to open her new shop- Peachy Keen- and at the same time trying to juggle helping with the Peach Coalition which is a huge to-do in Cays Mill. She accompanied her friend Ginny and Ginny's daughter, Emily to her friend Hattie's dress shop. All the girls have ordered their dresses from there and rush the store for their first fitting. The only problem is that Emily and the daughter of Vivian Crenshaw (the most popular girl in school) have chosen the same dress! Hattie accidentally only ordered one and Ginny is outraged when Emily backs down and offers to chose a different dress. She threatens Vivian, which is unfortunate because all eyes turn on Ginny when Vivian is found dead in Hattie's shop the next day. Nola has to prove Ginny's innocence, but realizes Ginny is hiding something, she just isn't sure what. All of this is complicated by Nola's confusing relationship with Hattie's brother, Cade. I loooooved this one and can't wait to read the next!
