About this listen

Apples are at the core of the family business run by Winona Mae Montgomery and her Granny Smythe. But this year's crop is unseasonably ripe with murder....

One rotten apple

Blossom Valley, West Virginia, is home to Smythe Orchards, Winnie and her Granny's beloved 25-acre farm and family business. But any way you slice it, it's struggling. That's why they're trying to drum up business with the "First Annual Christmas at the Orchard", a good old-fashioned holiday festival with enough delicious draw to satisfy apple-picking locals and cider-loving tourists alike - until the whole endeavor takes a sour turn when the body of Nadine Cooper, Granny's long-time, grudge-holding nemesis, is found lodged in the apple press. Now, with Granny the number one suspect, Winnie is hard-pressed to prove her innocence before the real killer delivers another murder....

A cozy murder mystery story. it isn't really Christmas themed, but that did get me to listen, so well played. The ending is a little rushed, almost like they ran out of time... but it's a book so... I don't know. It was good. Narration was well done.

Although the basic storyline had promise, I had the feeling some of it was written by AI or needed another few editing runs. There were multiple inconsistency’s in timeframes and facts. Probably not helped by the large amount of descriptive sections that had no relation to the murder. After listening for over an hour straight of mostly inner monologue and not a word about the murder mystery I had to give up. Sorry but it was not for me.
