One Rotten Apple: Lyndie Lavender Cozy Mystery 1

By: McGinnis, Penny Frost

Small town charm, a fall festival... and one uninvited corpse.

After twenty years of photographing war zones, Lyndie Lavender longs for peace. She finds it-at least at first-when she moves to her Aunt Cordy's homestead near the quiet town of Seldom Seen, South Carolina. The gentle rhythm of her new life is upended when Lyndie stumbles across a dead body on the opening day of her aunt's beloved Apple Fest.

Determined to uncover who killed one of the locals-and marred her aunt's festival-Lyndie dusts off her camera and natural curiosity. With her sister Laurel at her side and Aunt Cordy's charming new tenant, Zach Hudson, lending a hand, Lyndie finds herself snooping, spying, and untangling secrets the town folks didn't even know.

Finding a killer isn't on Lyndie Lavender's calendar. But neither is walking away.
