An Orchard Mystery
BY SHEILA CONNOLLY
ABOUT THE BOOK:
BEETLE MANIA
While orchard owner Meg Corey dreads the labor of manual irrigation to stave off a drought, her boyfriend, Seth, couldn’t be more excited about doing historic renovation on one of Granford’s oldest houses. Tagging along as he picks up supplies is supposed to give Meg a much-needed break, but the trip turns rotten when she almost trips over a dead body at an old saw mill’s forest reserve.
But the body isn’t the only frightening discovery she makes. A mysterious insect infestation seems to have migrated to the area—one that could bring serious harm to local woodlands. And it’s up to Meg to find out what’s behind this sudden swarm of trouble.
Includes Delicious Recipes!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Pseudonym for Sarah Atwell.
Sheila Connolly is two people these days: herself and Sarah Atwell.
Sarah is writing a new mystery series for Berkley Prime Crime. The first book of the Glassblowing Mystery series, Through a Glass, Deadly, was published March 4, 2008.
Sheila is writing a second new mystery series for Berkley Prime Crime. The first book of the Orchard Mystery series, One Bad Apple, will appear in August 2008.
Sheila's vital statistics: Married
(to my first and only husband), one daughter, three cats. I live in a
Victorian home in Massachusetts, not far from Cape Cod. I have more
degrees than I know what to do with. Over the course of my life, I've
lived in seven states, nineteen towns, and two foreign countries.
During my long and varied career, I've been:
- an art historian (medieval architecture)
- an investment banker in San Francisco and Philadelphia
- a non-profit fundraiser
- a professional genealogist (I had my own business, Lost Ancestors)
- and finally, a mystery writer.
I really hope the writer label sticks, because I'm having a great time.
I love to travel, I can fix almost anything around an old house, and I'm passionate about genealogy.
