With the bushels of time they spent organizing their wedding, Meg and Seth didn’t have a chance to plan a honeymoon. But now that winter has arrived, there’s not much to do at the orchard. So with their shared love of history and all things apple, they pick Thomas Jefferson’s orchards at Monticello as the perfect getaway.
While they enjoy the beautiful sights, there’s a rotten addition to the agenda when Meg’s parents discover their handyman dead in the backyard. With a bitter police chief eyeing Meg’s father as a suspect, Meg and Seth have to cut their honeymoon short to find the root of the problem.
Things are quiet for Meg and Seth and so they decide to take a short honeymoon, concentrating on orchards and historical buildings, thereby joining their two interests together. They have a meal with Meg's parents before they set off and during that time the Corey's car is badly damaged (so damaged that they end up getting a rental car), the main problems arise when the Corey's arrive home and discover their handyman dead, killed indeed, in their back garden.
Meg and Seth cut their journeying short and head to New Jersey to support her parents as the local Police Chief, whilst being fair, would dearly love to pin the killing on Philip Corey!
