About this ebook

Autumn in Blossom Valley means pumpkin patches are ripe and Winona Mae Montgomery and her Granny Smythe’s cider shop is flourishing. But with this season comes . . .
 
A FATAL HARVEST
 
The Fall Festival is in full swing. Civil War reenactors from three counties are partaking in Blossom Valley’s tribute to John Brown. Blue Ridge Mountain foliage is in full bloom. And best of all is Jacob Potter’s pumpkin farm where his hay rides, piglet races, pumpkin picking and corn maze are time-honored draws for locals and tourists alike. That’s why it’s such a shock when Mr. Potter is found dead, hidden under a tarp in the back of Winnie’s pickup truck. This certainly betrays Potter’s reputation as one of the town’s most popular citizens. Fortunately, when it comes to solving a murder, no one has a patch on Winnie. Now, all eyes are on her to do it. Unfortunately, that includes those of the killer who’ll do anything to keep an orchard full of secrets buried.
 

Ratings and reviews

family, family-dynamics, friendship, murder, murder-investigation, stalker, small-business, small-town, law-enforcement, romance, situational-humor, siblings, fugitive, re-enactors, amateur-sleuth***** Winnie has an ex-fiance/the hots for the hot local sheriff/and his brother (another hot sheriff) has the hots for her. She also has an escaped felon stalking her and a serious case of terminal curiosity. And Grandma went with her friends to a road kill cookoff. Terrific characters and sleuthing in a plot full of twists, misdirections, and red herrings. Everything seems so real and not contrived which is a real plus. The publisher's blurb is a good hook, and spoilers won't do, so I'll just say that I absolutely LOVED it! Can't call this an unbiased review because I also loved the last book, too, but I do think that it works as a stand alone. I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

Love this series! Can't wait for the next book!
