Original.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>An orchard owner searches for a poisoner in this Orchard Mystery from the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Nipped in the Bud.<br></i></b><br>The usually quiet town of Granford, Massachusetts, is even drowsier during the colder months. But this year it's in for a jolt when Monica Whitman moves into town. She's a dynamo who wants to make friends fast in her new home, and she throws herself into community activities. Meg Corey, now Chapin after her marriage to Seth Chapin, is intrigued by the new arrival, who has already sold the town board on a new, fun way to bring in visitors during the off-season: WinterFare, which will feature local foods (such as Meg's apples) and crafts, as well as entertainment. <p/>Tragically, Monica falls ill and dies after the event in what looks like a case of food poisoning. When all the food served at WinterFare has been tested, including Meg's apples, it becomes clear that there's a more sinister explanation to the older woman's sudden demise. <p/>Meg's investigation uncovers a bushel of potential suspects, one of whom is rotten to the core. <p/><b>INCLUDES DELICIOUS RECIPES</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling Orchard Mysteries</b> <p/>"[A] sleuth with a bushelful of entertaining problems."--Claudia Bishop, bestselling author of the Hemlock Falls Mysteries <p/>"Connolly's writing style brings the reader into the sights, scents, and sounds of a small town."--Open Book Society <p/>"An example of everything that is right with the cozy mystery."--Lesa's Book Critiques<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sheila Connolly</b> is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling, Anthony and Agatha award-nominated author of the Orchard Mysteries, the Museum Mysteries, and the County Cork Mysteries.
