The Alpine Obituary

Emma Lord Mystery (Alpine Series) · Book 14

Description

In the close-knit mountain town of Alpine, Washington, a seemingly routine death becomes the spark for a tangled investigation that pulls a local newspaper publisher and amateur sleuth into a web of secrets, grudges, and small-town power plays. As she follows clues through community gossip and carefully guarded histories, she must navigate shifting alliances and the kind of misinformation that thrives when everyone thinks they know the truth. With a sharp eye for character and a cozy-mystery pace, this novel blends murder, motive, and misdirection with themes of belonging, reputation, and the cost of keeping the past buried. Mary Daheim’s warm, conversational storytelling delivers a satisfying whodunit where wit and persistence matter as much as the evidence.
