Oh no! Not another murder at the apple orchard – just when they had hoped to recover from the first murder there! In Candy Apple Killer, Chelsea, Miss May and Teeny need to quickly find the murderer because KP has been arrested. This series has fun quirky characters. There are always too many suspects and nearly as many possible motives. If you like well written cozy mysteries, you will love this book!

Chelsea , Miss May and Teeny are in the case again as a snobby new resident is found murdered! As the bodies pile up this turns out to be a hard case for the trio as no one in the small town of Pine Grove likes the new comers! I really enjoyed this book as we got to know more about the characters of the series especially KP. There was a past and new depth added to his character. This book is just as quirky and funny as the rest. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series! I highly recommend this book and this series!

Another exciting adventure with Chelsea ( the dead body finder) and Aunt May!
The snobby newcomers to Pine Grove, Linda and Reginald Turtle, quickly turn everyone in town against them creating numerous suspects when they are found dead, one at a time. Did Reginald, a harassed husband at the “end of his rope”, kill his wife to stop her berating and collect her insurance? Did he feel guilty and take his own life? Or could there be another connection to their unfortunate past? You will not want to put this book down!
There is always that one person who you want to die and then it happens and your like YAY!!! and everyone around you is like whaaaaat? Well that happened to me. No way did I see THAT killer coming (I totally thought it was the h*****d). My favorite part was the ending. So romantic.
This murder is a little too close to home.
Another murder on Aunt May’s farm? Poisoned with one of Aunt May’s candy apples? Aunt May’s farmhand, KP, accused of murder? The hunky detective, Wayne Hudson, giving Chelsea the cold shoulder? Is there something in the water or what?
Aunt May and Chelsea, along with their zany third wheel Teeny, are going to have to solve this murder mystery on their own. What is up with the detective these days? I thought there was romance in the air. That is another mystery to itself.
This was a particularly good whodunit with plenty of red herrings along the way. A good, clean, cozy mystery that I recommend for a nice evening read.
In this one, Chelsea and Miss May have to solve the murder on their own as Detective Hudson has turned against them. They are getting ready for the 20th annual Candy Apple Hoedown when they have a run in with the neighbors. One of them is murdered by eating a poisoned apple. KP is blamed for the
murder and Chelsea and Miss May do everything in their power to prove him innocent

There is a rotten apple in town!
Chelsea and Aunt May are at it again in the small town of Pine Grove. The Candy Apple Festival is coming up and they are looking forward to a large demand for their candy apples. KP, Aunt Mays long-time employee and custom designer of their apples. Normally KP gets along well with customers but Mr. and Mrs. Turtle, newcomers to town, are impossible to get along with and KP is not the only one in town who feels that way. When Chelsea and Aunt May find the body of Mrs. Turtle, suspicion falls on KP and Detective Wayne Hudson is adamant that he does not want them interfering in his investigation. This is a fun cozy mystery with twists and turns. I finished it in one day.
“Candy Apple Killer” 5/5 Laced Apples…Entertaining and Clever!
Ok, a poisoned a candy apple? That’s just sacrilegious…but effective. Chelsea Thomas [duo] really had me going with a clever mystery full of several suspects that challenged me to choose just one along with fun chapter titles, vivid descriptions, entertaining dialogue, a bit of peril, and characters that continue to develop. Add a bit of zany and a possible romance? You’ve got a great read! It’s been a year since Chelsea was “homeless, jobless, and loveless” and essentially rescued by her aunt Miss May by offering her a chance to live and work at her apple orchard in Pine Grove, New York. Now? Well, despite three murders on which to hone her amateur investigator skills, Chelsea and her aunt are doing well and excited about the upcoming twentieth annual Candy Apple Hoedown (There’s such a thing? Delicious!). However, they have an unfortunate run-in with Mr. Henpecked and the totally annoying Mrs. Snob whining about failed retirement dreams and dissing their small town. Enter karma. Mrs. Snob ends up murdered by candy apple. Like many residents, KP had a terrible interaction with her, including a threat that “this’ll be the last apple you ever eat!” So opportunity and means is enough to get him arrested. From here the twists and turns, ups and downs, and some perilous predicaments kept me totally engaged. Loved it! Along with investigating the circumstances surrounding the murder and trying to help their friend, I enjoyed the side stories into KP’s past, Chelsea’s “left me at the altar” ex-fiancé, romantic possibilities with Officer Wayne, and entertaining small town friendships.
It took me awhile to get into this book, but maybe because it was the first one I had read in this series. It was a fun, humorous cozy mystery. The ending was a complete surprise!
I really loved this book. Once I started this book I could not put it down. Started the book at bedtime and stayed up late till I finished.
The third in the series, a new couple, who have apparently lost all their wealth have moved to town. They are obnoxious and privileged and show up at the orchard demanding to buy the candy apples soon to be unveiled at a festival, when told they have to wait like everyone one else, the wife utters a few threats and then they flounce out. They do indeed show up at the festivities but then the wife dies whilst eating her candy apple. When their handyman is arrested for her murder Chelsea and Miss May know they must solve the mystery. A great entertains read.

Another great book in this series by Chelsea Thomas. Candy Apple Killer left me guessing until the end as to who the killer was. This cozy has a wonderful cast of funny characters & a mystery that keeps you guessing.

This was a fantastic read and as must as it was sad I liked how it involved KP so we actually got to know him more. This was definitely a curly one to work out and it really had me guessing and changing who I though the killer was and then when we find out why it all started, never saw that coming!! This series gets better with every book and I am glad Teeny got to have a bit more involvement instead of always hearing about what Chelsea and Miss May got up to and ugh the scene in the barn at the end, I may have fist pumped lol

Chelsea and her aunt may have solved three murders in their small town and they are so ready to hang up their hats and call it a day until the new couple moves into town and causes so much trouble. I loved the way this author writes her stories as it so easily read there is no glitches where you stop and said what just happened there, but it flows so effortlessly from page to page until the very last sentence. Awesome yet again and I want more please.
