β¦ Synopsis
SUMMARY: Not everything is blooming this spring... Spring has come to Meg Corey's apple orchard -- and it's quickly becoming a killer season. Just as she's getting the hang of managing the two-hundred-year-old orchard she's inherited, the dead body of a local organic farming enthusiast is found in her springhouse. And the only thing that's sprung is a murder accusation -- against her... The young man's body was found with traces of pesticide poisoning. Strange for someone opposed to all things chemical. And why did someone plant his body on Meg's land -- when she hadn't even met him? Now, Meg needs to pick her actions wisely and get rid of the seed of suspicion that's been planted before the orchard -- and her future -- is spoiled for good.
