Poison Apples

About the Book

Catastrophe hits a Vermont apple orchard: a plague of maggots, hate calls, and poisoned fruit that kills a Jamaican picker. Ruth rushes to help-only to see the troubles pile up on her doorstep!

"A wonderfully observed Vermont. Wright doesn't put a foot wrong in this well-wrought mystery."
-The Boston Globe

"Well written with an incredible sense of place, an excellent plot and a very exciting ending."
-Mysterious Women

"Wright gives us a clear and compassionate look at a threatened way of life we are left satisfied, not only in terms of the intellectual puzzle, but also emotionally."
-San Francisco Chronicle
