One Rotten Apple: Lyndie Lavender Cozy Mystery 1

By Penny Frost McGinnis

Description:

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.

Book Takeaway:

Lyndie has come home in hopes of finding peace and quiet. Instead she finds herself tangled in a murder mystery. She leans heavily on her shepherd, Jesus, as she roots through clues and exposes the killer.

Why the author wrote this book:

Cozy mystery is my favorite genre, and I saw a need for cozies with a Christian world view. I also enjoyed writing the story and plan to add to the series.
