About this audiobook
Nola Mae Harper is too busy restocking the jars of preserves and chutney flying off the shelves of her shop, Peachy Keen, to keep up with all the gossip about the upcoming mayoral election, but she does know the debate is sure to be a real barn burner.
Local farmer Clem Rogers claims he has a bombshell that could take small business owner Margie Price out of the running. But before Clem can reveal his juicy secret at the debate, his actual barn goes up in flames-with him inside of it. The town casts its vote against Margie, but Nola isn't convinced the hardworking woman is capable of murder. Now to clear Margie's name Nola will have to work fast under pressure, before Margie gets taken in by the fuzz . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nola Mae Harper is finally settled down back home in Cays Mill, Georgia, helping out on her family’s peach farm and running her shop Peachy Keen. She is enjoying the return to small-town life - even the contentious upcoming mayoral election. Her quiet life, however, is interrupted when one of the candidates, Clem Rogers, is murdered and someone close to her is under suspicion of having killed him. Nola must hurry to catch the killer before the wrong person goes to jail.“War and Peach” - I just love that title! - is the wonderfully done third book in Susan Furlong’s Georgia Peach cozy mystery series. This is one of my favorite series - I was hooked from the start of the series on Nola. her family, friends, and even the peach farm. I love Nola Mae as a character who tried to escape her past by leaving Cays Mill but has returned to help out her family. She may be a bit flawed (aren't we all?) but her loyalty to her family is admirable - especially in this book where she has to make some hard decisions about her future. Small-town life is wonderfully portrayed in this book - Nola isn't the only one who can't quite escape the past - and plays an important part in this mystery. As for the mystery itself - it is extremely well plotted - one of the best plotted mysteries I have ever read. While there are plenty of twists and turns in the book, the clues are all - they are little bits thrown out that will nag at the reader just like they nag at Nola. As for events at the end of the book - including when the killer was revealed - they left me both happy and sad. I ended up with what I call a “book hangover” - reluctant to leave these characters that I have come to love.“War and Peach” is an excellent cozy mystery by Susan Furlong.
