The Apple Butter Murders
(2026)(The second book in the Berkeley Springs Mystery series)
A novel by Len Boswell
Detective Eleanor Rigby Beaumont, now a resident of Berkeley Springs, comes out of retirement to help Detective Billy Skye with a baffling crime. Four bodies have been found at the town’s annual Apple Butter Festival, and there seems to be no shortage of suspects, from family members to a real-estate investor to any one of 40,000 people passing by in the swirl of the festival.
Were the murders crimes of passion? Cold-blooded killings? Spree killings? The work of a serial killer?
Rigby and Billy follow the evidence, looking for motive and opportunity and any clue that will lead them to the killer or killers. But as they narrow the pool of suspects, startling events lead them in a new direction.
But is it the right direction?
