<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A sequel to Peach Clobbered finds stage-struck proprietor Nina Fleet hosting a community Shakespearean troupe before clashing with the company's director about his claim to her home, only to discover the murdered body of the production's leading man.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>To die, or not to die? Georgia B&B proprietor Nina Fleet turns amateur thespian to bring the curtain down on a Shakespearean actor's killer.</i> <p/>It's nothing short of inevitable that Cymbeline, GA, hosts an annual Shakespeare festival. But stage-struck Nina Fleet is about to learn that putting on an amateur theatrical production can be murder. Nina's anticipating showbiz glamour and glitz when a community Shakespearean troupe arrives for a two-week stay at her B&B. But the lights dim when she learns the company's director is her nemesis, struggling actor Harry Westcott--who still claims to be the rightful heir to Nina's elegant Queen Anne home. <p/>Meanwhile, the troupe members are not content to leave the drama upon the stage. Accusations of infidelity and financial malfeasance make a shambles of rehearsals. And then, two days into the troupe's stay, the lead actor is found dead in Nina's formal Shakespeare garden. Natural causes...or murder most foul? <p/>Nina uncovers evidence that something is indeed rotten in the town of Cymbeline. Too bad Harry is the only one who believes that she's not going completely off script. And exposing the truth isn't easy when the remaining troupe members say the show must go on...particularly when all of them seemingly had a motive for wanting their fellow actor to permanently exit stage right. Determined to keep the killer from making a curtain call, Nina and her trusty Australian Shepherd, Matilda, join forces with Harry to sleuth out the murder plot. Will they succeed before someone else shuffles off this mortal coil? Find out in Anna Gerard's delightful second Georgia B&B mystery.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for Peachy Scream: <br></b>"A fun read...Her writing style flows easily with some humor sprinkled throughout the story."<br>--<i>Booklist</i><b> <p/></b>"A delightful read that is perfect for lovers of Shakespeare."<br>--<i>San Francisco Book Review</i> <p/>"Delightful reading, entertaining and exciting with a dash of humor."<br>--<i>Midwest Book Review</i><b><br></b><br>"Explosive with excitement...A great series to escape into."<br>--<i>Cozy Mystery Book Review</i><b> <p/>Praise for<i> Peach Clobbered <br></i></b>"Gerard has honed her craft, and it shows...A 5-star read.
