Blood in the Orchard

Some towns keep their secrets in the soil. When Katherine returns to the quiet hometown she fled, she walks straight into the shadow of unsolved killings — deaths rooted in the orchard behind her family's land. The deeper she digs into her late father's past, the more the town's old suspicions turn back toward her own family. Blood in the Orchard is a poetic, Gothic crime mystery about ritual violence, childhood trauma, and the things a small town would rather leave buried.
