Blood in the Orchard: A Gripping Crime–Serial Killer Thriller

A Twisted Psychological Mystery Written by Lena Lexington

In the quietest places, the darkest secrets take root.

When the body of a young woman is found hanging from an apple tree in a secluded orchard, Detective Elena Vargas is called to investigate. What first appears to be a tragic suicide quickly unravels into a web of ritualistic killings, buried corruption, and secrets the town would kill to protect.

Each clue draws Elena deeper into the orchard’s shadow—where every whisper hides a lie, and every truth brings her closer to madness. The killer is watching, waiting, and the next victim may already be chosen.

“Can she unearth the truth before the orchard claims another life—or her own?”
