MURDER IS RELATIVE
The brutal stabbing of local philanthropist Einar Rasmussen Jr. outrages folk in the old logging town of Alpine. But, strangely, editor Emma Lord of The Alpine Advocate can scarcely pry a word out of the victim's reclusive relatives. Sheriff Milo Dodge isn't much help either, now that he and Emma are no longer an item. So intrepid Emma goes solo, hot after a story that sparks through town like wildfire, fueled by rumor, malice, and the deadly antics of a maniac. . . .

- 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.

November 2, 1998
Small-town newspaper editor Emma Lord is on the trail of the murderer of a pompous philanthropist in Daheim's 11th mystery (the alphabetical series began with The Alpine Advocate). The eccentric residents of Alpine, Wash., are abuzz over the arrival of a Swedish au pair and the discovery of gold nuggets at a construction site. Then major news occurs: local bigwig Einar Rasmussen Jr. is found stabbed to death, with lipstick on his collar. Emma's gossipy sidekick, Vida Runkel, can't keep her nose out of the murder investigation and nearly gets killed for her pains, while Sheriff Milo Dodge is taciturn and uncooperative because Emma has ended their affair--so Emma must investigate alone. Although the mystery builds little steam and the resolution isn't entirely satisfying, witty one-liners and amusing characterizations keep the story interesting.
