Nola Mae is back and full of southern charm in the third installment of the Georgia Peach mystery series. In this enchanting story, she finds herself smack dab in another jam when mayoral candidate, Clem Rodgers, is found murdered inside his burning barn, and the sheriff sets her sights on sticking it to Nola's dad.

This is my first introduction to the Georgia Peach series, and while I have had the first two on my to-read list since they were released, I am seriously beating myself up for not jumping into these sooner. I absolutely loved this book The theme of love and family strength drew me in and made me adore not only the characters, but also Susan Furlong for writing such a strong and enduring series. Nola Mae is an amazing lead character who has such beautiful inner strength and love of her family, you can feel it radiate off the pages. The rest of the characters are not to be slighted, as they have been crafted to spring to life and feel like a group of people that I would surround myself with in my own life. I loved that this mystery had me guessing right till the end, and even when I did figure out the "who-dun-it," I was vested in the story and couldn't wait to see how it would end. Overall, I loved this book and I can't wait to return to Cays Mill, Georgia, for some southern peachy goodness! Oh, and if you are a peach nut like myself, don't miss the recipes in the back of the book! They will make you fall in love!
