Appleton Farms Cozy Mystery by Summer Prescott is set on a fruit farm where the harvest brings more than apples. The three books — Homicide and Honeycrisps, Felonies and Fujis, and Perpetrators and Pumpkins (all 2020) — pair farm life with murder investigations.
Homicide and Honeycrisps opens with a body discovered during the apple harvest, pulling the main character into an amateur sleuthing role. Felonies and Fujis continues the pattern with a second crime on the farm. Perpetrators and Pumpkins closes the trilogy in autumn, keeping the seasonal farm theme consistent throughout.
The series runs just three books, making it a quick read for cozy mystery fans looking for something short and complete. Prescott is known for her many cozy mystery series, and the Appleton Farms books deliver the genre’s usual mix of low-stakes danger, quirky characters, and a rural setting.
