review 1: I liked this one better than the last one on the series and I think that, as the story goes, the author is getting better too.I have thought Meg a little aloof and submissive, especially with Bree and Seth (they decide for her most of the time), but now I know why, since in this book we get to know better Meg and her family. She's just getting through the best she can, learning and waiting...but I think that the romance part could be a little more developed.Still I found the crime parts a little forced, I mean, whenever Meg does something, bang, there's a dead body related to her in some way or another. The plot is ok, it is really a cozy mystery and I must say that I will never ever look at an apple the same way.
review 2: If you love culinary cozies, you'll ... moreenjoy this one from the Orchard Mysteries. When I've read Killer Crop, it's a good cozy. We're enveloped into a rustic world of living in Massachusetts, when a murder takes place. We're introduced to Meg Corey, who's now learning the ropes of apple picking for her orchard. There's so much goes into the process, whether by hand or by machine, even to make cider, for harvest season. It's a lot of hard work to learn about apple picking. It's educational and informative all at once, highlighting Meg's life in the story. When she's tired from a hard day at work, so am I. I We can see her struggle, when her mom visits her, on telling her about her boyfriend, Seth. I'm so glad that later on, she introduced him to her. He's some kinda of handy eye candy In my opinion. But we can see a growing relationship between Seth and Meg, even before and after she tells her parents about him. We also learn more about Emily Dickinson's life and Meg's fictional relationship to it. It's a good balance for a culinary cozy with a hint of historical fiction and tons of intrigue, when Meg solves her mother. This is an enjoyable read. less
