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.
The Alpine Kindred
Mary Daheim
When a seemingly routine stop in the Alpine community turns deadly, the close-knit world of Judith McMonigle is thrown into chaos as a mysterious death exposes long-buried tensions and secrets. With her irrepressible cousin Renie in tow and the help of her former beau, policeman Joe Flynn, Judith follows a trail of clues that leads from small-town gossip to unsettling family connections. Blending cozy charm with a sharp eye for human motives, the story explores how heritage, loyalty, and rivalry can shape—and distort—what people are willing to confess. Mary Daheim’s signature style shines through in its witty, warm storytelling and brisk mystery plotting, delivering a satisfying whodunit that keeps the focus on character as much as the crime.
The Alpine Scandal
Mary Daheim
In the charming Cascade foothills town of Alpine, the weekly rhythms of The Alpine Advocate are thrown into chaos when a scandal erupts with the kind of secrets that refuse to stay buried. As Emma Lord and her close-knit circle of small-town characters navigate gossip, shifting loyalties, and unsettling clues, a new mystery takes shape—one that tests friendships and forces long-simmering tensions into the open.

At its heart, the novel explores reputation, trust, and the lengths people will go to protect what they believe should remain unsaid.
