An okay cozy mystery. I found the characters a bit over the top in their quirkiness. Goodreads reader review:This is the latest installment of the apple orchard mysteries! I love this series and this author! Chelsea and her Aunt May run the apple orchard and are the local sleuths along with some help from funny, loveable Teeny who runs grandma?s restaurant! This time around the mean old Granny Smith is found dead. This wasn?t an easy one to solve as everyone in Pine Grove dislike the mean spirited old woman who found a reason to snitch on everyone! I loved that we were introduced to some new interesting characters! It was well written! There was plenty of humor, adventure, drama and mystery! Add in a 3 way romance with Chelsea and a new character who is enamored of her to give our favorite deputy, Wayne some competition, despite Wayne?s confidence! This was a quick read and very enjoyable! I highly recommend this book and this series!

Another delightful mystery with Miss May and Chelsea. Sounds weird calling a murder delightful but that's what it is. I really enjoy this series and all of the characters. The small town with all of its local businesses make me wish that mine had some of their eateries. I always get hungry reading this series! LOL!! I love the play on all of the apple varieties and all of the recipes too. Really good story!
I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
