Summer 1911. A scorching heatwave engulfs the quiet town of
Littleton Cotterell and brings about an unusually early harvest.
The villagers are thrilled, but events quickly turn sour when one
of them turns up dead in an apple orchard, stabbed through the
heart. Amateur sleuth Lady Hardcastle and her trusty lady's maid,
Flo, suddenly have a juicy case on their hands. Might the
mysterious stranger they recently met in the village be to blame?
When a second cider-related murder takes place, it quickly becomes
clear that there's more to these mysterious deaths than meets the
eye. The daring duo uncover whispers of an ancient order and
moonlit rituals. And evidence points to a macabre secret in the
village stretching back years. A secret someone will do
anything-anything at all-to keep hidden. Something is rotten,
that's for sure. With the local constabulary baffled, Lady
Hardcastle and Flo must use all their powers of wit and whimsy to
get to the bottom of the dastardly deed. But can they catch the
killer before any more people drop dead?
