Recipe

At Fleet House Bed and Breakfast Inn here in Cymbeline, Georgia, I (Nina Fleet, official innkeeper) enjoy pampering my guests. I decided as my B&B signature specialty to offer peach mimosas at the first breakfast with every new group. So far, the concoction had been a hit. Maybe you’d like to try this easy recipe at home the next time you host a special breakfast.

FLEET HOUSE PEACH MIMOSA

Ingredients:

2 cups of chilled no-pulp orange juice

2 cups of chilled peach nectar

1 bottle (750ml) of chilled dry champagne or sparkling wine

(Note: you can substitute non-alcoholic sparkling wine)

2/3 cup grenadine

Optional and in-season: thin slices of fresh peach (do not peel)

Directions:

Combine the orange juice and peach nectar in a pitcher.

Fill champagne flutes or other narrow glassware halfway with champagne.

Top the champagne with 1/3 cup of the peachy orange mixture and gently stir.

Drizzle in a tablespoon of grenadine

Add a slice of fresh peach to the rim

Enjoy!

To die, or not to die? Georgia B and B proprietor Nina Fleet turns amateur thespian to bring the curtain down on a Shakespearean actor's killer.

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 and 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.

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?

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.
