Life has always been sweet on Georgia’s Peach Cove Island, but a case of murder has Marygene Brown down in the pits . . .
For generations, the women of the Brown family on Peach Cove Island have been known for their Southern sass and sweet homemade desserts at their beloved Peach Diner. Since their mother's passing two years ago, Marygene has been stuck in Atlanta while her sister Jena Lynn has been running the family business. Now Marygene has left her husband and returned to her hometown, where she can almost feel Mama's presence.
But all is not peachy back home. Marygene has barely tied on an apron when a diner regular drops dead at the counter. When it turns out the old man's been poisoned, Jena Lynn is led away in handcuffs and the family eatery is closed. Now, to save her sister and the diner, Marygene must find the real killer. With some startling assistance from her Mama's spirit, Marygene will be serving up a special order of just desserts . . .
Wowza! as a first book in a series this one pulled no punches, this is well worth a read and then a re-read to pick up what you missed the first time around!
Marygene has left an abusive marriage and headed home, her life has followed her though as she checks in with her sister at the family diner before heading to the family home she finds her car being re-possessed with a lot of her belongings still in it! Things then go from bad to worse when a regular at the diner drops dead, there are vultures (sorry developers) circling and the dead man's son seems to be in their pocket. It then gets worse with Marygene's half sister arrested by an out of town detective who isn't looking at the whole picture, oh and their mama just showed up, but as a ghost!
Now Marygene needs to save the diner, save her sister, save Peach Cove Island …. oh and not get killed in the process 🙂
