The Alpine Menace

Emma Lord Mystery (Alpine Series) · Book 9

Description

When a hired soothsayer collapses after her tea leaves are tampered with, bed-and-breakfast hostess Judith McMonigle and her sharp-tongued cousin Renie are left to manage the fallout—while suspecting the death is only the first clue in a much darker scheme. With help from her one-time beau, policeman Joe Flynn, Judith follows a trail of secrets tied to the Alpine community, determined to flush out a killer before the next round of hospitality turns deadly. Blending cozy charm with mounting suspense, the story explores deception, family loyalties, and the danger of trusting appearances. Mary Daheim’s signature wit and brisk, character-driven mystery style keep the pages turning as Judith races to connect the dots—before the menace strikes again.
