A meandering drive on a beautiful day, a visit to a local apple orchard, a chance for Bertie the dog to stretch his legs but... has Kitty Underhay just found a dead farmer?
England, 1936
.
On a clear autumn day,
Kitty
and her mischievous spaniel
Bertie
take a drive to a nearby village. After a long walk in the rolling country hills and lunch in a pretty tearoom, what could be nicer than to buy a couple of bottles of local cider for her husband - and partner-in-crime solving -
Matt
? Instead, she finds a body in the orchard...
Kitty is shocked to discover Titus Blake dead, crushed by his own cider press
. The new local detective arrives swiftly, making it clear he has no time for amateur sleuths, especially a woman. Hearing his words, Kitty and Matt are determined to get to the bottom of the mystery before the sour inspector. Titus's estranged brother, reclusive housekeeper and even his long-suffering son soon make their suspect list.
But when the police get wind of Kitty and Matt's snooping, the inspector firmly tells them to keep their noses out. Now in a race to find the killer, the inquisitive pair are stopped in their tracks when their chief suspect is also found dead in the barn.
Can Kitty find the rotten apple before it's too late, or will the killer feed her a poisoned fruit first?
If you love Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey or Lee Strauss, you will be utterly gripped by this totally charming cozy murder mystery!
