I can’t tell you how many books I have read by Molly Harper. I was first introduced her while she was writing her werewolf and vampire stories. My first thought was I’m not into that! Why would I want to read about vampires and certainly not werewolves!
But the cover intrigued me. It didn’t look scary so I cracked open the book and within the first few pages I realized what I thought the book was about was nothing at all what it was about.
Molly Harper is a funny person. You have fun while reading her stories. Her characters are crazy, a bit cracked, and find themselves in humorous situations, looking for that balance in life.
But Molly just doesn’t write about werewolves and vampires. She also writes fun contemporary fiction with a little romance thrown in. She is in the middle of a series of books that are standalones too and another story is slated to be released shortly.
Here are my thoughts and review on this new book.
Ain’t She a Peach by Molly Harper
Series: Southern Eclectic (Book 4)
Publisher: Gallery Books (June 12, 2018)
ISBN-13: 978-1501151330
ABOUT:
An Atlanta ex-cop comes to sleepy Lake Sackett, Georgia, seeking peace and quiet—but he hasn’t bargained on falling for Frankie, the cutest coroner he’s ever met.
Frankie McCready talks to dead people. Not like a ghost whisperer or anything—but it seems rude to embalm them and not at least say hello.
Fortunately, at the McCready Family Funeral Home & Bait Shop, Frankie’s eccentricities fit right in. Lake Sackett’s embalmer and county coroner, Frankie’s goth styling and passion for nerd culture mean she’s not your typical Southern girl, but the McCreadys are hardly your typical Southern family. Led by Great-Aunt Tootie, the gambling, boozing, dog-collecting matriarch of the family, everyone looks out for one another—which usually means getting up in everyone else’s business.
Maybe that’s why Frankie is so fascinated by new sheriff Eric Linden…a recent transplant from Atlanta, he sees a homicide in every hunting accident or boat crash, which seems a little paranoid for this sleepy tourist town. What’s he so worried about? And what kind of cop can get a job with the Atlanta PD but can’t stand to look at a dead body?
Frankie has other questions that need answering first—namely, who’s behind the recent break-in attempts at the funeral home, and how can she stop them? This one really does seem like a job for the sheriff—and as Frankie and Eric do their best Scooby-Doo impressions to catch their man, they get closer to spilling some secrets they thought were buried forever.
Ain’t She a Peach by Molly Harper: Book Review
Frankie is a wild child and in this new book she is the star of the show. Well, along with newly appointed Sheriff Eric, a real hot number.
Frankie is also a mortician, of sorts, and the county coroner AND has an eclectic lifestyle. Which makes any relationship, or non-relationship, difficult, shall we say.
But she’s not the only one who has a crazy lifestyle. Many of her family members seem just a wee bit off. But that what is what makes the story so unique, humorous, and downright enjoyable.
If you want to have fun while enjoying a good book, just pick up a Molly Harper read. There’s a reason why she’s a best-selling author. And there’s a reason why you can get addicted to her stories with just a few turns of the page.
Witty, snarky, and a whole lot of Southern comfort is wrapped up in this sweet read. Not to be missed!
