Peaches And Schemes

More about the book

In Anna Gerard's third Georgia B&B mystery, Nina Fleet discovers that weddings can be far from sweet. New to innkeeping, Nina realizes that attracting tourists isn't enough to sustain her bed and breakfast. To boost business, she decides to participate in the Veils and Vanities Bridal Expo, organized by local wedding experts Virgie Hamilton and Nina's friend, Roxanna Quarry. However, chaos ensues during the fashion show when Roxanna falls from a prop wedding cake, strangled by her own scarf. Nina's statement to the police about overhearing a dispute between Roxanna and Virgie leads to Virgie's arrest for the murder. Meanwhile, tensions rise with her charming but troublesome tenant, Harry Westcott, who informs Nina that her ex-husband is engaged again. Believing Virgie is innocent, Nina takes it upon herself to investigate. She and Harry also rescue Roxanna's dog, planning to foster him. As local gossip suggests multiple motives for Roxanna's murder, Nina inches closer to the truth, putting her life at risk. When Virgie mysteriously disappears after being bailed out by an unknown benefactor, Nina fears that if she can't find her in time, their lives may take a deadly turn.
