The Alpine Quilt: An Emma Lord Mystery
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Quilters at the Burl Creek Thimble Club in Alpine, Washing-ton, are planning a fête to welcome back returning member Genevieve Bayard. But Gen’s homecoming is cut short when she dies suddenly at a dinner party. Emma Lord, owner and publisher of the local newspaper The Alpine Advocate, vows to sleuth her way to the truth, and enlists the help of her trusted “House & Home” editor, Vida Runkel. Surprisingly, Vida seems downright unwilling to get involved. To make matters worse, murder isn’t the only crime in Alpine. There have been several burglaries, which may or may not be connected to Gen’s de-mise. As Emma digs, she uncovers a shocking scandal that may point the finger of guilt at one of her nearest and dearest . . . while changing the history of Alpine itself.
“[Daheim] amiably captures the rhythms and crosscurrents of small-town life.”—Kirkus Reviews

- bioText: Mary Richardson Daheim started spinning stories before she could spell. Daheim has been a journalist, an editor, a public relations consultant, and a freelance writer, but fiction was always her medium of choice. In 1982, she launched a career that is now distinguished by more than sixty novels. In 2000, she won the Literary Achievement Award from the Pacific Northwest Writers Association. In October 2008, she was inducted into the University of Washington’s Communication Alumni Hall of Fame. Daheim lives in her hometown of Seattle and is a direct descendant of former residents of the real Alpine, which existed as a logging town from 1910 to 1929, when it was abandoned after the mill was closed. The Alpine/Emma Lord series has created interest in the site, which was named a Washington State ghost town in July 2011. An organization called the Alpine Advocates has been formed to preserve what remains of the town as a historic site.

Quilters will especially enjoy Daheim's 17th cozy (after 2004's Alpine Pursuit
) to feature Emma Lord, publisher of the Alpine Advocate
, the weekly newspaper of rural Alpine, Wash. When Genevieve Bayard, who grew up in Alpine, returns for a visit after a long absence, Annie Jeanne Dupré, the gentle, heavy-handed organist at St. Mildred's, decides to hold a welcome-back party for Gen and the other members of their old quilting group. Gen's sudden death at the party (from eating poisoned cheesecake, an autopsy later reveals) upsets everyone, but Emma's House & Home
editor, Vida Runkel, who was absent at the time of the murder, is unusually disturbed and starts to behave strangely. Break-ins, a stranger in the local motel, burned quilt patterns, an anonymous letter, suspicious medications and another death compound the mystery. Daheim sympathetically portrays the small mountain town and its denizens, particularly Emma and her brother, Ben, a priest who's serving as St. Mildred's interim rector. Readers will also be enticed by the food and drink the characters often turn to for comfort. Agent, Maureen Moran.

March 15, 2005
Emma Lord, owner and publisher of the " Alpine Advocate," is back for another adventure featuring a small town in Washington State and its eclectic residents. What lifts this series above the typical cozy is Emma herself: a dedicated journalist who left Seattle to buy a small-town newspaper and who is trying to move on from the death of her fiance. Her occasional "no strings attached" sleepovers with Sheriff Milo Dodge are proof of Emma's independence, yet she is not immune to the dashing Rolf Fisher of the Associated Press. (That the frugal Emma will blow a fortune on a new outfit for her first date with Rolf is one example of why she is so lovable.) In this outing, a former resident is poisoned when she returns home for a visit. Suspicion is cast upon her best friend, church organist Annie Jeanne. To the chagrin of Emma's brother, Ben, a down-to-earth priest, some parishioners have stopped attending mass for fear of being poisoned during Communion. Daheim fans will welcome another encounter with the ever-enchanting Emma.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2005, American Library Association.)
