This is the 4th in Sheila Connolly's Orchard Mystery series. It's my favorite so far. Meg's mother Elizabeth comes to visit an old friend, a college professor whose specialty is the poetry of Emily Dickinson. When the professor turns up dead in a nearby cider mill Elizabeth is suspected of killing him. The solution to finding his murderer lies in looking at Emily Dickinson's life and an exchange of letters she had with an unknown farm girl. The mystery itself was okay, I enjoyed more about Meg figuring out who she is and how she could have totally misunderstood her parents’ relationship. I could get it if her parents were the cold ones and she wasn't, because isn’t it usually that we learn our coping/relationship skills from what’s around us? (Or am I totally off base on that?) I can get her hesitation to hop into another relationship knowing how her last was, but perhaps its just that she is now relating to her parents as adult/adult and not child/adult?
Really like this series. A lot more to growing apples than one would have imagined.
