Thanks to Winnie's new cider shop, Smythe Orchards is out of the red and folks can get their fix of the produce and other delectable products they love all year round. The locals are even booking the shop for events, including a June wedding! Winnie couldn’t be happier to see the barn filled to the rafters for the big bash—until her doting ex, Hank, is caught in a heated argument with the groom. Winnie plans to scold Hank after the party, but spots him running off instead. And when the groom turns up dead, apparently hit by the honeymoon getaway car, Hank is the main suspect. Now Hank is on the lam, and it’s up to Winnie to get to the core of the truth—before the real killer puts the squeeze on her . . .
Winona Mae Montgomery and her Granny Smythe have managed to turn the fortunes of the Smythe orchard around with the opening of the Cider House and they are glad to have it when a local family's daughter decides that instead of the huge wedding bash they were planning they want something simple and book the Cider House, the party is going well apart from a couple of things, but before the evening ends there is a corpse under a truck! Now much as Winnie would like to stay out of this (and Sheriff Colton Wise REALLY wants her to stay out of things!) her long time friend (and ex boyfriend) is in the frame for the murder, and as if that wasn't bad enough he has gone missing!
Now Winnie and her intrepid Gran need to find out the truth so that they can keep the Orchard running.
