Description

Apples are at the core of the family business run by Winona Mae Montgomery and her Granny Smythe. But this year s crop is unseasonably ripe with murder . . . ONE ROTTEN APPLE

Blossom Valley, West Virginia, is home to Smythe Orchards, Winnie and her Granny s beloved twenty-five-acre farm and family business. But any way you slice it, it s struggling. That s why they re trying to drum up business with the First Annual Christmas at the Orchard, a good old-fashioned holiday festival with enough delicious draw to satisfy apple-picking locals and cider-loving tourists alike–until the whole endeavor takes a sour turn when the body of Nadine Cooper, Granny s long-time, grudge-holding nemesis, is found lodged in the apple press. Now, with Granny the number one suspect, Winnie is hard-pressed to prove her innocence before the real killer delivers another murder . . . The characters are delightful . . . Plenty of action and suspense.
