The Alpine Betrayal

Description

When a glamorous Hollywood production descends on the quiet Alpine community, the excitement quickly curdles into suspicion after a series of unsettling incidents threatens to expose long-buried grudges. As a recently retired husband and a volatile, unpredictable presence draw attention from every direction, the town’s off-season calm becomes a pressure cooker of secrets, motives, and misdirection. With danger closing in, a determined heroine and her sharp-witted allies must follow the clues before the next betrayal turns fatal. Blending cozy mystery pacing with Mary Daheim’s signature warmth and wry character energy, this story explores the themes of trust, family loyalty, and how the past can ignite—sometimes literally—when no one expects it.
