The usually quiet town of Granford, Massachusetts, is in
for a jolt when Monica Whitman moves in. She’s a dynamo
who makes friends easily. One of her first acquaintances
is orchard owner Meg Corey Chapman. She’s intrigued by the
new arrival, who has already sold the town board on a new,
fun way to spice up the cold winter months. WinterFare
will feature local foods and crafts as well as
entertainment. It’s exactly what the town needs to bring
in visitors during the offseason.
But tragedy strikes when Monica falls ill and dies. It
looks like a case of food poisoning, but after all the
food on the premises has been tested, including Meg’s
apples, it becomes clear that there’s a more sinister
explanation to the older woman’s demise.
Meg’s investigation of the crime leads to some unlikely
suspects, including a rival apple-grower, but the biggest
mystery of all may involve the dead woman’s husband.
