One Bad Apple

When Meg Corey unexpectedly finds herself out of a job, an apartment, and a relationship, she seizes the opportunity to renovate the Massachusetts colonial house her mother has inherited from distant relations and to sell it quickly for a share of the profits. But Meg gets more than she bargained for when she learns that renovating a two-hundred-year-old house is no easy task and that the gorgeous fifteen-acre apple orchard on the property is in danger of being paved over by developers. And she definitely isn't expecting to run into her ex-boyfriend...floating dead in her new septic tank. The police immediately suspect Meg, whose only ally is the charming local plumber who found the body. Determined to clear her name-- while fighting her growing attachment to the troublesome house and orchard--Meg begins to investigate the crime and the townspeople only to find there's one bad apple in this bunch... secrecy that surround the deal in order to find the real murderer—and save the orchard.
