This is my first novel by Walker Chandler. I love that it is set in an area which I know well. The story line involves Duncan Robertson, an Inspector from Scotland, who ces to the US for a piping conference and stays to visit with friends. While here is becomes embroiled in a murder case which reminds him of an unsolved case from his past.
Mr. Chandler has a strong storyline which compelled me to keep turning the pages. While I usually read Christian fiction I like to take a break and read different genres. Murder in Peachtree City was just the book I needed. Not only did I enjoy getting to know the characters, I also found being able to track his whereabouts in the story refreshing and exciting. I highly recommend this book. I truly hope that there will be a second in the series. Inspector Robertson has unfinished business!

Walker Chandler never wastes his reader's time with anything obvious and simplistic. In this unusual-even-for-him story, "Murder in Peachtree City" carries the reader across much of the area of Middle Georgia, and involves that reader in strange backwoods as well as urban activities.
Readers are transported from the woods via auto, from Georgia via airplane, and from the suburbs via golf cart. (Peachtree City is, in fact, famous for his golf-cart trails.)
Emotionally, the reader is buffeted or comforted, charmed or alarmed.
"Murder in Peachtree City" is, yes, different for Walker Chandler, in setting and scope, but it is typical of Chandler in quality of writing, ranging from the poetic to the violent to the romantic.
"Murder in Peachtree City" is available now on both electronic and paperback formats from Amazon, and at some discriminating and selective brick-and-mortar stores.

Tried but couldn't finish
I really wanted to like this book but it was a slog. There's too much dialog about things that don't relate to the murder mystery. I kept thinking, "where was the editor?" After a few weeks of trying to finish it, I gave up.
