Murder Among Apples - Paperback

by Holly Newman (Author)

A Regency mystery where estate troubles mask something far darker-and every man who knew the truth is dead.

At Pomum Court, the land keeps its secrets. But some refuse to stay buried.

When Cecilia and Sir James Branstoke arrive in Devon at the request of the Earl of Monteith, James's cousin, they expect to investigate a string of estate troubles-not murder.

Nearly two years earlier, Monteith's older brother died in what was ruled a tragic accident. But accidents do not form patterns.

As Cecilia and James begin to observe the people-and silences-surrounding Pomum Court, they uncover an unsettling truth: every man who advised Monteith's father in a dangerous decision that affected the estate's future has died. One by one.

Now, with the past beginning to shift beneath their feet, Cecilia and James must uncover what truly happened before the killer strikes again.

Some secrets are buried for a reason. And someone will kill to keep them there.
