Dead Men Don't Pick Apples

Don’t sit under the apple tree… unless you’re ready for deadly secrets to fall.

Carolina Teal only wanted to serve pie on the porch and enjoy a cozy autumn at her inn. But when cocky orchard farmer Owen Longfellow turns up dead during her photography class, things at the Blueberry Hill Inn take a rotten turn.

Carolina’s sharp eye catches details others miss, and she must investigate the mystery. Luckily, she’s not alone: her chef-sister Angela, her drama-loving bestie Goldie, and Kahlua, her loyal German Shepherd, are right by her side.

But Pine Haven is crawling with suspects. Was it Eden, Owen’s fiery business partner desperate to protect her prize apples? “Scary Harry,” the bitter orchard recluse with old grudges? Or Owen’s ex-fiance, Joanna, who told Owen that she “just needed a break”.

Between sudden accidents in the orchard barn, being chased through a moonlit corn maze, and whispered threats, the stakes climb higher than the hay bales.

The deeper Carolina digs, the closer she comes to being the next body in the orchard.
