the time Suzanne finds out the truth, it’s

wounded Jake and is now going to finish
the job by killing her.
In Red Delicious Death by
Sheila Connolly ($7.99), Meg Corey,
new owner of an apple orchard, is
getting ready to have her first apple crop
picked. It constitutes more work than
she realizes. She needs to find pickers to
pick the apples, places to sell the apples,
and has to figure out when to pick the
apples. Lucky for her, she has help.
When her friend, Lauren, calls and asks
her to help some young chefs who want
to open a restaurant, she agrees, not
realizing what that would mean. She
calls her real estate friend and they find
the young chefs a place they could turn
into a restaurant. She brings in Seth, a
local plumber, to help them. She
assumes that will be enough. When one
of the chefs is murdered, she finds
herself drawn into the case. The young
man didn’t know anyone in town. He
was friendly and outgoing. Who would
want to kill him? She finds out that only
a local could have committed the crime,
something she would rather not think
about. The remaining chefs find they are
running out of money. Meg finds a way
to help them find a way to open the
restaurant. While she drums up support
for her idea, she figures out who the
murderer is, too late to avoid another
tragedy.
I just finished reading two
murder mysteries about women who are
having wedding planning problems.
Although both take place in England,
one takes place in the late 1800s, the
other in the present. Both mysteries kept
me up late at night to finish them.
The first one is A Fatal Waltz
by Tasha Alexander ($13.99). Lady
Emily Ashton wants nothing more than
to marry Colin Hargreaves.
Unfortunately, her mother and the Queen
of England as well as his job as a spy
keep pushing back the date. When a
man who threatens her future with Colin
is murdered, she doesn’t shed any tears.
When her best friend’s husband is
arrested for the crime, she is determined
to prove his innocence. The trail brings
her to Venice where Colin is on a
mission with a beautiful woman who
warns Emily that she wants Colin and
will do what’s necessary to keep her
continue to live in a world drenched in the blood of the living? Or is death the only way to
save herself from the Return's destruction?).. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $8.99
