I had read several in this series set in Hopemore, Georgia. The main character is a woman in her mid 60s, who, with her husband, runs a nursery business and is a magistrate. In htis book a young woman's body is found, murdered, and MacLaren investigates, against the wishes of her husband. Well-written cozy series.
