Peachy Scream: A Georgia B&b Mystery by Anna Gerard
3.0
Enjoyable read.
It's a few months after the events of the first book and Nina finds another body. This is not a spoiler, this is a cozy mystery, and the find is announced on the first page of the book. Also, no surprise that the victim was not a particularly well-liked man. Though, the man's unlikableness didn't really come off the page.
Anyway, with one of her guests killed, Nina is determined to solve the murder lest her B&B gets a reputation for being a crime scene. (Though, as someone points out: there are also tourists attracted to that sort of thing.) Nina's guests are an amateur troupe about to stage a play at the towns annual Shakespeare festival and they decide the show must go on.
As usual, when a writer (or play-write) is mentioned often in a story, the final resolve in the story, follows the plot of the writer. By that time, several of Nina's guests have behaved suspiciously.
3.5 starts. Rounded down because I would have liked some more Connie Lamb in the story. I just love a competent cop in a cozy.
I read an ARC through NetGalley.
