Synopsis
Emma Lord is back and better than ever! This time around, the amateur detective partners up with a rookie sleuth to investigate a string of murders in her beloved Alpine, Washington. For a small town nestled in the Cascade Mountains&’ foothills, picturesque Alpine provides more than enough headlines to fill the pages of editor and publisher Emma Lord&’s Alpine Advocate. The Labor Day edition&’s lead story features controversial timber baron Jack Blackwell&’s scheme to become Skykomish county manager. But the recent strangling deaths of two young women are all anyone can talk about. After a third body is found, Emma&’s husband, Sheriff Milo Dodge, suspects there&’s a serial killer in their midst. The latest victim is the sister of a dashing newcomer rumored to be working for Blackwell. &“Black Jack,&” as he&’s known to his non-admirers, has a long-standing rivalry with Milo. To discover if there&’s any connection between the mogul and the murders, Emma recruits the Advocate&’s receptionist, Alison Lindahl, to do a little digging. Still recovering from a recent breakup, Alison welcomes the distraction. But when the investigation puts the eager protégé in the line of fire, Emma worries that the cub reporter&’s career will be over before it even begins.Praise for Alpha Alpine&“Part of what makes this series so great is touching base with the characters, returning to the idyllic locale of Alpine, and spying on all the drama and mayhem. . . . Fans of Emma Lord will love this one, but this one might [also] be a great place for people who haven&’t read the series to jump on board.&”—The Book Review &“Full of drama and action . . . I really tried to slow down and savor this book, but that was almost impossible. . . . I am already anxiously waiting for the next Emma Lord Mystery.&”—Escape with Dollycas &“I always know I can count on a good read with a Mary Daheim book.&”—My Merri Way
