The Alpine Decoy

Description

A charming mountain town’s quiet routines are shattered when a beautiful young nurse arrives in Alpine with a past that won’t stay buried—and the locals’ prejudices surface as quickly as the gossip. As tensions rise, a web of secrets and shifting loyalties draws attention to who can be trusted, and why certain people are so eager to control the narrative. With sharp wit and a keen eye for human motives, this mystery explores the corrosive effects of bigotry, the danger of hidden histories, and the lengths people will go to protect their reputations. Mary Daheim’s signature cozy, character-driven style delivers a suspenseful, small-town whodunit where every conversation feels like a clue and every assumption may be the decoy.
