Synopsis:

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 . .

Includes Recipes!

Apple Cider Slaying is a perfect fall or winter read. I could almost taste the cider and smell the spices while reading this book.

Winnie has big plans to set up a cider shop to draw more business and save her family’s apple orchard. When one of her Granny’s rivals is found murdered on site, Winnie has to try to prove granny’s innocence and protect the orchard’s reputation. The characters were endearing, and even with the side plots going on, the mystery still had my attention from the start. This was a good start to a sweet new series.
