Book 1 of the Orchard Mystery series has Meg moving to Massachusetts to remodel and sell her mother's aunts' home after she loses her job and boyfriend. Her ex-boyfriend comes knocking on her door with an offer to have her putting a good word in for him with the citizens of the town where he wants to do business. He ends up dead and she ends up a suspect in his murder along with her plumber. Now they have to solve it before either or both go down for the murder.
I enjoyed this cozy mystery. The world building is good as the characters are introduced and a brief outline is given as to who they are and where they fit in the town. Meg and Seth are good characters and possible love interests. The mystery was good. I figured who it was only because he was a bad apple (pun not intended) but I needed the ending before putting it all together as to why. And what a stupid reason to do it.
It's a fun read and I look forward to reading more of the series.
