Summary
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?

Another Excellent Lady Hardcastle!
T.E Kinsey is my favourite author in this genre and I look forward to every instalment of Lady Hardcastle and Flo and their brilliant, clever and funny interactions. The storylines never disappoint and always keep you guessing and no one else apart from Elizabeth Knowelden could do these stories justice! I’m looking forward to the next book in November and hoping for many more 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Another cracker from Mr Kinsey!
Absolutely love this series of books, had me hooked from book 1. The relationship between Lafy H & Flo is just lovely & believable. The stories grip you & have twists to keep you hooked. The narration by Elizabeth is just perfect. Have a go, you won't be disappointed

Intelligent, funny & feisty. love Love LOVE! 😊
The female equivalent of Holmes & Watson but with more humour, fisticuffs & all whilst wearing corsets.
Another great episode in this brilliant series. Outstanding narration from Elizabeth Knowelden. Can't wait for the next adventure of these superb, tongue in cheek characters.
For lovers of MRC Kasasian, Agatha Raisin, Robin Stevens & Richard Osman.

just love this series.
A great listen. For me it's a perfect blend of historical theme, perfect narration, likable characters. the narrator creates individual personalities with changes in accents and vocal tones which provides great listening. I love the light humour and banter all which has kept me buying the next books in this highly recommended series

Enjoyable read
Well narrated, this story was interesting enough to keep me listening, and worked well on both levels of the murder mystery, and of the relationships between the characters.
