Apple Die

Apple Orchard Cozy Mystery, Book 1

By: Chelsea Thomas

Narrated by: Jill Smith

From the oven it came...smelling like apples, cinnamon, and love.

Everyone adores Miss May, except the guilty.

In a small town where neighbors know each other, lawn chairs come out in the spring; if you sit around chatting long enough, someone brings you pie; and there are still skeletons in every closet.

Luckily for Pine Grove, Miss May has a nose for crime.

The body was found face-down in the orchard.

Chelsea’s not sure crime-fighting is her strong suit. She’s up at her Aunt May’s farm, recovering from heartbreak, after all, trying to forget the guy who left her at the altar. But when cousin Maggie’s fiancé is murdered, Chelsea’s own botched wedding seems like less of a big deal.

Who would have killed him?

The handsome and charming Detective Wayne thinks it’s Maggie.

Miss May and Chelsea know he’s wrong, but they don’t have proof. There’s a killer on the loose in their little town, and they’re determined to find the culprit.

Who had motive?

You'll adore this clean cozy mystery because everyone loves small-town mysteries with comedy, suspense, and yummy food.

Get it now.

fun mystery

a lighthearted mystery that has quirky characters to follow. The plot was involved and only one clue was available to solve the mystery.

Good morsel, cozy vibes

Enjoyable, though the main character's rather swoony and often all over the place antics got a little old. Still the mystery was good and after a certain point, the murderer became obvious but still a good read. Cannot wait for book two!

For Cozy Relaxing

I enjoyed this audio nook. The book is light and fun and the narrator Jill Smith made it come alive!

Engaging

I bought this book in preparation for a long drive and finished in a single day. The narrative was engaging, the prose descriptive, and the characters well developed. Jill Smith, the voice actor, delivered a delightful reading of the story. I appreciated this novel as a refreshing escape from the busyness and stress of everyday life.

Super cute.

This was my first title by this author and I was pleasantly surprise. The pace of the book kept me interested and engaged. Loved the reader. she brought the book to life. Definitely would recommend as an easy listen.
