Description
Mary Daheim’s bestselling novels, set in Alpine, a picturesque village tucked away in the Cascade Mountains, have charmed a generation of mystery lovers with suspenseful tales of the peril that bubbles up from below the serene surface of small-town life.
 
An ill wind blows through Alpine, but Advocate publisher Emma Lord and Sheriff Milo Dodge seem immune to the prevailing angst. The newlyweds’ domestic idyll is most definitely over when a dead man is discovered near the fish hatchery and nobody has a clue as to his identity. Vida Runkel may have insight, but Emma’s redoubtable House & Home editor is mad at the world and saying little. Moreover, whispers of scandal travel through the quaint streets when some high school girls mysteriously take a walk on the wild side. And then Milo’s dedicated deputy, Sam Heppner, a true yeoman, suddenly goes AWOL.
 
What’s happening in Alpine? If Milo knows, he’s not telling Emma. And Emma’s again headed for trouble when she starts snooping. The situation grows even more fraught when a shocking link is revealed between the mystery corpse and one of Alpine’s own, unearthing a long-buried dark secret. Tongues are wagging on Front Street—and the gossip contains an air of menace. Meanwhile, Mary Daheim has written her best book yet.

      • 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 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.

The Alpine Yeoman
fullDescription
Mary Daheim’s bestselling novels, set in Alpine, a picturesque village tucked away in the Cascade Mountains, have charmed a generation of mystery lovers with suspenseful tales of the peril that bubbles up from below the serene surface of small-town life.
 
An ill wind blows through Alpine, but Advocate publisher Emma Lord and Sheriff Milo Dodge seem immune to the prevailing angst. The newlyweds’ domestic idyll is most definitely over when a dead man is discovered near the fish hatchery and nobody has a clue as to his identity. Vida Runkel may have insight, but Emma’s redoubtable House & Home editor is mad at the world and saying little. Moreover, whispers of scandal travel through the quaint streets when some high school girls mysteriously take a walk on the wild side. And then Milo’s dedicated deputy, Sam Heppner, a true yeoman, suddenly goes AWOL.
 
What’s happening in Alpine? If Milo knows, he’s not telling Emma. And Emma’s again headed for trouble when she starts snooping. The situation grows even more fraught when a shocking link is revealed between the mystery corpse and one of Alpine’s own, unearthing a long-buried dark secret. Tongues are wagging on Front Street—and the gossip contains an air of menace. Meanwhile, Mary Daheim has written her best book yet.

        January 27, 2014
        Emma Lord, publisher of the weekly newspaper in isolated Alpine, Wash., is enjoying life with her sexy new husband, Sheriff Milo Dodge, but must contend with a veritable avalanche of soap operas emanating from the 24 previous books in Daheim’s alphabetical cozy series, most recently 2013’s The Alpine Xanadu. A woman has a breakdown following the foiled jailbreak of her son; another copes with post-traumatic stress disorder after a shooting and the collapse of a marriage due to alcoholism; and that’s just chapter one. The main action involves a corpse found by a nearby river and such questions as who is he, why is a deputy missing, and why are high school girls disappearing? Following the various threads can be hard given the many characters, all with melodramatic backstories. The book’s strength is the often-amusing dialogue between Emma and Milo, as they navigate their public and private lives. Everyone else is a blur who needs therapy.

        Another small-town murder, this one at the state fish hatchery, sets Alpine Advocate editor and publisher Emma Lord on the penultimate addition to this popular series.

        March 1, 2014
        A middle-aged honeymoon couple has to catch wedded bliss on the fly when murder and a car wreck upset their little town. Emma Lord and Milo Dodge have been married all of two months. As the editor and publisher of a newspaper on a shoestring budget, she's always looking for stories worth a few inches of copy. He's the sheriff of Alpine, somewhere east of Washington's Cascade Mountains. Emma also enjoys the sometimes-questionable company of Vida Runkel, the "House & Home" editor, who knows everyone and everything in town. Vida's all atwitter about her beloved great-grandson Dippy now that his mother, the town hooker Vida wrested him from, is out on bond. When a body is found near the fish hatchery, it's identified as someone who may be either a federal agent or a crook; a major car crash, missing teenagers and a detective who goes off the grid also conspire to keep Emma and Milo busy. An intruder who threatens Emma's life provides yet another entanglement in a confusion of noisy neighbors, ex-spouses, stepchildren, children who are no more than voices on the phone and characters mentioned only in passing--all of them distractions from the overlapping plotlines. Despite these extraneous dramas and a rather muted resolution, however, Daheim injects enough wit and color to make her tale more entertaining than the standard small-town mystery. Fans of Daheim's multivolume chronicle (The Alpine Xanadu, 2013, etc.) may feel right at home among Alpine's denizens, but it will be a struggle for newcomers to figure out who's who.
