away, but when it comes to Sheila Connolly's Orchard
Mystery series, an apple-inspired tale will keep a cozy
mystery fan very happy indeed.
The latest installment in the Orchard series, RED DELICIOUS
DEATH, finds orchard owner Meg Corey employing her
sleuthing skills once again as the murder of a newcomer
causes a stir in the small town of Branford, Massachusetts.
A group of young chefs have come to Branford, looking for
the ideal place to open their own restaurant, one that
incorporates fresh local produce into the menu. Meg is
thrilled with the prospect and with her background in
banking, offers to advise the fledgling business owners as
well as supply them with all the apples they need. The
whole town is excited about the new business, but when one
of the young men is found dead in a pig wallow, it soon
appears that somebody wasn't too happy about the idea.
As Meg talks to her neighbors and tries to piece together
the clues that will lead to the identity of the killer, her
romance with handyman Seth Chapin continues to bubble along
as nicely as a hot apple pie. With Seth's help, Meg soon
tracks down the culprit, just in time to save the
restaurant from certain demise.

mysteries is served up.
