In the remote mountain town of Whispering Pines, former firefighter Mackenzie "Mac" Sawyer has traded battling blazes for crafting award-winning smoky apple ciders at her family's orchard. Her peaceful new life shatters when renowned food critic Graham Wheaton is found dead in her cider barn, apparently suffocated by smoke from her custom apple wood smoker. With all evidence pointing directly at her, Mac must clear her name before she loses everything she's worked to rebuild.
Teaming up with local veterinarian and orchard consultant Dr. Wesley Bennett, Mac digs into the victim's mysterious past and discovers Wheaton wasn't just judging cider—he was investigating suspicious water rights acquisitions throughout the valley. As accidents plague Mac's orchard and threatening messages appear, she realizes someone is willing to kill to control what flows beneath the picturesque apple trees of Whispering Pines. When the town's beloved mayor becomes the next target, Mac must use her firefighter's instincts and newfound local connections to unmask a killer before she becomes the next victim.
Pour yourself a glass of something crisp and curl up with this cozy whodunit that proves sometimes the sweetest new beginnings require surviving the sourest schemes.
