Apple Orchard Mysteries Books 1–10 by Chelsea Thomas

Rating: WARTY!

When heartbroken Chelsea ditches the city for her family’s sprawling apple orchard, she’s ready to spend her days relaxing with plates of warm pie… but then a dead body is picked from the trees! Follow Chelsea and her aunt, Miss May, as they solve a bushel of mysteries in this complete box set." Why not call her Granny Smith and be done with it? This heartbroken 'fleeing waif' motif is such a tired trope. I'll bet the author has no idea that the word 'bushel' comes from a French term meaning "little box" and so it particularly à propos for this box set, but there isn't a box anyway so what does it matter?
