    About this audiobook

    The usually quiet town of Granford, Massachusetts, is even drowsier during the colder months. But this year it's in for a jolt when Monica Whitman moves into town. She's a dynamo who wants to make friends fast in her new home, and she throws herself into community activities. Meg Corey, now Chapin after her marriage to Seth Chapin, is intrigued by the new arrival, who has already sold the town board on a new, fun way to bring in visitors during the off-season: WinterFare, which will feature local foods (such as Meg's apples) and crafts, as well as entertainment.

    Tragically, Monica falls ill and dies after the event in what looks like a case of food poisoning. When all the food served at WinterFare has been tested, including Meg's apples, it becomes clear that there's a more sinister explanation to the older woman's sudden demise.

    Meg's investigation uncovers a bushel of potential suspects, one of whom is rotten to the core.

      A LATE FROST by Shelia Connolly is the latest title in The Orchard Mystery series.Meg and Seth are back from their honeymoon and settling into married life in the small town of Granford, Massachusetts. The orchard manager, Bree, has left for a learning opportunity in Australia; Christopher and Lydia (Seth’s mother) are an item; and Meg is thinking about whether or not to hire a new manager. But, of course, a murder occurs and Meg is involved. I should say she forces her involvement (one of my pet peeves about these cozy mysteries). The main characters are such nosy busybodies that they can’t ‘help themselves’ but be involved in occurrences best left to the police.I like the cover art; the clever titles; the recipes are very interesting and delicious and the characters are familiar and predictable.The sense of place is interesting and well-detailed. I have picked up quite a bit of apple lore and orchard information.The troubling problem of dementia and how to care for affected people was woven thoughtfully into the book.The plot itself was not very detailed and certainly not suspenseful.A pleasant, cheerful read. I feel like I am catching up with old friends I haven’t seen for awhile. What’s new with you? How is the orchard coming along? The summer was really dry, wasn’t it? I enjoyed your reception - I’m very happy for you and Seth. Maybe we could talk over lunch at Gran’s?
