From the oven it came… body was found face-down in the orchard.
Chelsea’s not sure crime-fighting is her strong suit. She’s up at her Aunt May’s farm recovering from heartbreak, after all, trying to forget the guy who left her at the altar. But when cousin Maggie’s fiancé is murdered, Chelsea’s own botched wedding seems like less of a big deal.

The handsome and charming Detective Wayne thinks it’s Maggie.
Miss May and Chelsea know he’s wrong, but they don’t have proof. There’s a killer on the loose in their little town and they’re determined to find the culprit.
Who had motive?

So much fun reading this book. Humorous, suspenseful, and quirky characters take you on a entertaining journey!
Thoroughly enjoyed it and looking forward to reading the next!
Brilliantly lighthearted and full of charm
I immediately loved the writing style. Lighthearted, but with an ever so slightly sarcastic tone. And I mean that in a good way! It made everything not-so-serious and that worked brilliantly.
Chelsea (yes, the same name as the author, I love that sort of humor) is having a hard time. She needs to find her place in life. Aunt May (Miss May) comes to the rescue. But then someone gets murdered and when the police think it’s an accident, they decide to start investigating themselves. Miss May and Chelsea make a great duo: one bold and daring, like a bull in a china shop, the other prone to frenzy and skittish, like a nervous kitten. And that only added to the charm of this wonderful story! Throw in a hot cop and you have your recipe for success!
I did know whodunit right from the point where they were first mentioned. But that didn’t take away from this incredibly enjoyable story!
Chelsea is right where she should be. Home.
Secrets come out when sitting around in the sun and it is even better when their is Apple pie as well. She had been dumped at the altar while her cousin fiance was found murdered. She decides to find out who did it. Can she do it? Who did it? See is she can

I really enjoyed Apple Die! This book is interesting and fun. It captured my attention right from the beginning. The characters are funny and entertaining. I love their witty banter. The mystery has many twists and turns that kept guessing until the end. The book is well written and engaging. I look forward to the next book in the series.
I received an ARC copy of this book.
I was hooked from the start of this book, it drew me in and had me laughing from the very beginning, it had my husband looking at me like I’d lost my mind
The characters are believable and well written, the comedy along with murder mystery mixes really well. This is the best cozy mystery book I’ve read in a long time, with all the twists and turns it keeps you gripped with laughs.
I’m looking forward to the next book, especially if we get more from the delicious detective
This was my first cozy mystery read. I enjoyed the continuous verbal word play and conversation. It kept me turning pages to find out who done it and I enjoyed the ending.

This was my first time reading this author! I really enjoyed the story of Chelsea being left at the alter and her Miss May who raised her coming to her rescue. Chelsea is an interior designer and moves back home to help Miss May! When her cousin Maggie gets stood up at her rehearsal dinner and Chelsea sets off to find the errant groom. I loved the quirky characters, Teeny, Chelsea, Miss May, Dee Dee and Rita! The book had plenty of twists and turns and tense moments where u just held your breath for what was going to happen next! I love a good cozy book and this one delivered! I look forward to reading more books from this author!

A quick read. Coming home Chelsea has to prove her cousins innocence when a murder lands at their door. Along with her aunt May they tackle things head on while trying to deal with Chelsea being left at the altar.
I really wanted to like this book but it just didn’t work for me. However, it had a super cute cover!

It’s great for snackers as it is overwhelming with eating – all the time! It appeared no one worked – maybe sporadically, but inconsistent so it was difficult to stay focused on the story line. It is a quick read, just not as good as most cozy mysteries.
Just a really good book. Highly recommend it!
Really enjoyed the characters and hilarity in this book. Will be reading more from this author.
ok story, but didn’t really like main character, shallow
I haven’t laughed so hard in ages ! A Great story that I’m very sorry took me so long to get around to reading. I am totally hooked now!
I read all her books in this series.
Nice light little cozy mystery with fun characters. Perfect when you want a quick, easy murder mystery that is written in a fun rather than intense, riveting way. Just plain nice.
Very slow read.
Good book. If starts out interesting. And goes well as a comedy who done it.
Great read!! Plan to buy more by the author!
Amusing yet plot was convincing, many cozies are stupid. This one wasn’t. It was worth the time invested in reading it.
