Peach Clobbered: A Georgia B&B Mystery | Anna Gerard
4 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Whats black and white and dead all over? Georgia bed and breakfast proprietor Nina Fleet finds out when she comes across a corpse in a penguin costume. Nina Fleets life ought to be as sweet as a Georgia peach. Awarded a tidy sum in her divorce, Nina retired at 41 to a historic Queen Anne house in quaint Cymbeline, GA. But Ninas barely settled into her new B&B-to-be when a penguin shows up on her porch. Or, at least, a man wearing a penguin suit. Harry Westcott is making ends meet as an ice cream shops mascot and has a letter from his great-aunt, pledging to leave him the house. Too bad thats not what her will says. Meanwhile, the Sisters of Perpetual Poverty have lost their lease. Real estate developer Gregory Bainbridge intends to turn the convent into a golfing community, so Cymbelines mayor persuades Nina to take in the elderly nuns. And then Nina finds the penguin again, this time lying in an alley with a kitchen knife in his chest. A peek under the beak tells Nina its not Harry inside the costume, but Bainbridge. What was he doing in Harrys penguin suit? Was the developer really the intended victim, or did the culprit mean to kill Harry? Whoever is out to stop Harry from contesting the sale of his great-aunts house may also be after Nina, so she teams up with him to cage the killer before someone clips her wings in Peach Clobbered, Anna Gerards charming first Georgia B&B mystery.

The first of the Georgia B&B Mystery series, Nina Fleet decides to track down clues about the murder of a hated community member in her small town. This is a way more memorable cozy mystery, thanks to the cast of characters, including an actor known for his role in horror movies, and a group of nuns. Yes, nuns! It‘s funny and just simply a fun book. It also breaks from cozy tradition and features a dog named Mattie. Audio was great, too! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Listening to this first book in a cozy series because I can‘t sleep. I‘m really liking the character and the narrator. The other pictures are what the day looked like today. After I got home from work, the streets started flooding because we had so much rain today in such a short time.

Anna Gerard is a new author to me, and cozy mysteries aren't something I read very often, but the clever title and the absurdity of the blurb (man in a penguin suit murdered, a group of religious sisters moving into a Georgia B&B) appealed to me.

Small issue, but the fact that the main character, Nina, pronounces her name Nine-ah proved a HUGE distraction to me.

Penguins, Nuns, and Murder, Oh My!

What a great start for this series! I loved Nina (Nine-ah) immediately.

This was a marvelous mystery and I highly recommend it for all cozy mystery fans!
