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.&;
