**Premise:**
Clara Finch’s life is in pieces. After being laid off from her big-city graphic design job, she inherits her great-aunt’s charming but struggling cidery. Her only hope of saving it is the town’s annual Autumn Festival, but the pressure is mounting faster than apples in a press.

When the festival’s opening day is spoiled by the discovery of a despised local developer’s body, Clara’s problems go from financial to fatal. The sheriff seems content to label the death an unfortunate accident, but Clara knows there’s more to the story. To save her new business and find her place in this quirky town, she must trade her design tools for a magnifying glass and uncover the secrets hiding among the crisp autumn leaves—before the killer decides to pulp another victim.
