First in a New Series -- A Peach of a Murder

Happy Thursday! Livia J. Washburns first is A Peach of a Murder

A Peach of a Murder (Fresh-Baked Mystery Series #1)

Love the cover!

Overview


All year round, retired schoolteacher Phyllis Newsom is as sweet as peach pie-except during the Peach Festival, whose blue ribbon has slipped through Phyllis's fingers more than once...
Everyone's a little shook up when the corpse of a no-good local turns up underneath a car in a local garage. But even as Phyllis engages in some amateur sleuthing, she won't let it distract her from out-baking her rivals and winning the upcoming Peach Festival contest.
She and all the other contestants guard their secret, original recipes with their lives-and talk a whole lot of trash. With her unusual Spicy Peach Cobbler, Phyllis hopes to knock 'em dead. But that's just an expression-never in her wildest dreams did she think her cobbler would actually kill a judge. Now, she's suspected of murder-and she's got to bake this case wide open.

This first debuted on November 3rd 2006 and the series is on book 8 as of the recent one. Way to go Livia, this is such a yummy book and I have enjoyed the series and all the great characters in this book.

  1. Thank you Shelley, I love the cover, too. That comes from the great talent of Jesse Reisch, the artist of all of the Fresh Baked Mystery series covers. I can't wait to see the cover for the one I'm presently working on.
