Peace, Love & Murder is a mystery novel set in a small college town. This is the first book in the Five Star Mystery Series by Nancy Holzner.

After growing up on a commune with his hippie loving parents, Bo Forrester left at the age of 18 to join the army. Years later, Bo returns to his home in hopes to reconnect with his parents. Unfortunately for Bo, the people from the commune have left and in its place is a new subdivision. With few answers and little information Bo decides to stick around town taking a job as a taxi driver. One morning while working Bo gets pulled over by Deputy Trudy Hauser. During the stop one of the fares begins to act suspicious prompting Deputy Hauser to search the car. During the search a body is found in the trunk. Bo becomes the primary suspect and must work to prove his innocence.

I greatly enjoyed Peace, Love & Murder. The characters were original, funny when needed and not super easy to predict. I really enjoyed that the story kept me guessing till the end as to who the killer was. Another aspect that I enjoyed was that there was not a large amount of blood and gore to take away from the story.
I am looking forward to reading the next installment in this series.
