About this audiobook
The fall harvest may be just about over, but orchard owner Meg Corey is busier than ever planning her wedding to Seth Chapin. Who knew picking apples would be less work than picking out rings and a dress? And even though the happy couple has invited most of Granford, Massachusetts, to the ceremony, they might have to make room for one more guest . . .
Ex-con Aaron Eastman has unexpectedly reappeared in his hometown, searching for answers to the tragic fire in his family's past that put him behind bars twenty-five years ago. Moved by his sincerity, Meg vows to do everything she can to help him solve the cold case. As she cobbles together the clues, it becomes increasingly clear that Aaron may have been considered the bad seed of the family, but someone else was one bad apple.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A GALA EVENT is the latest in the Orchard Mystery series by Shelia Connolly.There was very little discussion of the actual ‘gala event’ (Seth and Meg’s wedding).There was so little description and planning details that I’m not sure it actually took place!The book was an extremely slow read and all of the plot points very unrealistic. I need a bit more to the story to keep up my interest - come on, a bit of a puzzle. Everything to do with Meg and Seth’s ‘cold case investigation’ was implausible. I was very disappointed. I like the series and keeping up with the characters, but the books are supposed to be ‘mysteries’.
