Overview

There's a killer in the orchard— and he's rotten to the core.

INCLUDES RECIPES

Meg Corey has come to the quaint New England town of Granford, Massachusetts, to sell her mother's old colonial home and apple orchard. Instead, she becomes embroiled in development plans that include her land—and her former flame from Boston. When he's found dead in the new septic tank on her property, the police immediately suspect Meg, whose only ally in town is the plumber Seth Chapin. Together, they'll have to peel back the layers of secrecy that surround the deal in order to find the real murderer— and save the orchard.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Connolly's less-than-gala freshman attempt at crime fiction drops Boston banker Meg Corey into tiny Granford, Mass., where she's agreed to rehab a 200-year-old house while looking for a new job. Then Meg's ex-lover is found murdered and bobbing around in her brand new septic tank, a crime that could sour Granford's big chance to lure outside commercial investors. When the local cops appear determined to look no further than Meg for a suspect, she decides to turn sleuth. Her only ally, Seth Chapin, the plumber who installed the new system, is also a suspect and not much help. The premise and plot are solid, and Meg seems a perfect fit for her role. However, so much time is spent restating the story's major conflict that both Meg and Seth remain enigmas-dropped into the plot as if from outer space-with insufficient background information to ripen into well-rounded characters.

    Great Weekender!!

    I enjoyed this book very much. Not very long so it is a great weekend, poolside, beachside, or vacation read! Kept me interested all the way through. The characters were smalltown and cute to me. They were also described very well. Reading the second one in the series now...hoping to read one per weekend! I hope the author continues on with this series.

    Delicious!

    After Meg was downsized from her job and couldn't pay her rent, she decided to take her mother up on her offer. She moved out to the house that's been in the family for years in order to fix it up and sell it, splitting the profits with her mother. What she thought would be a month's worth of work for virtually no money, Meg's come to realize that she's going to have to bust butt and spend a great deal to sell the house at a reasonable rate. When her ex-boyfriend shows up on her doorstep looking to make a developmental deal for the town, Meg doesn't quite know what to make of him. She knows even less when he turns up dead in her back year the next day. Since the townspeople consider Meg an outsider, she's the perfect suspect. Can Meg clear her name and her reputation?

    A great start to a new series; I'm looking forward to reading more. Great descriptions and just a dash of romance rounds out the book.

    Good light reading book

    Not the top reader maybe, but definitely have read much worse. It is a good light reading. I think the biggest "fault" I could say about it is not really any suspense. But I am enjoying reading it.

    There is a delightful charm to this small town regional cozy

    Months after her boyfriend dumped her, Meg Corey¿s job is made redundant when her bank merges with a larger one. Her mother comes up with a solution that will occupy Meg for the next few months. They own property in Grandford, New England that includes a house and an apple orchard. If Meg fixes up the house, she will earn half the profits from the sale.--------------- Neither Meg nor her mom is aware that the house needs enormous structural and cosmetic repair. The plumping needs immediate attention so she calls Seth Chapin who informs Meg the septic tank needs replacing. The day after it is fixed, her sink is stuffed, Seth inspects what is clogging the system only to find the corpse of Meg¿s ex boyfriend inside. He was in town to sell the concept of a strip mall and had many enemies with a motive to kill him.---------------- There is a delightful charm to this small town regional cozy. The protagonist works the homicide because the police officer leading the investigation considers her the prime person of interest. Sheila Connolly provides a fascinating whodunit filled with surprises especially red herrings as the amateur competes with the cop to prove she is innocent by uncovering the identity of the guilty person.------------ Harriet Klausner
