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 APPLEBlossom 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!
REVIEW
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
What a great start to a new cozy series. We meet Winnie as she is attempting to help her granny save the orchard by opening a cider shop in the property. In order to male that happen she needs to be approved for a loan. That is not looking likely when as the banker is visiting she finds the dead body of the cantankerous neighbor in the picking building. To make it worse granny is the main suspect since the two really disliked one another. Win could not accept that About though so she stargazing questions in the small town. Leads both her and the reader on a merry chase to figure out the bad person. Overall a well written cozy mystery full of apples, recipes, and a good time. Makes for pleasant reading. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
