Deadly to the Core by Joyce Tremel
3.0

I have a love-hate relationship with the descriptors in this book. Part of the descriptions are vivid and lovely and does a fantastic job of bringing the world to life...on the other hand it gets to be a bit much when our main character describes things like paint to no end. Some of the dialogue also felt a bit... disjointed. However, I loved the idea of mystery with an orchard and cider and some suspicious small town people. Descriptors and some dialogue aside, I thought it was enjoyable. 3.5-3.75 stars for me.
