The Alpine Decoy
Mary Daheim
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.
The Alpine Nemesis
Mary Daheim
Two months after an unlucky snowboarder vanishes on the slopes above Alpine, the case is reopened when Emma Lord—publisher of the *Alpine Advocate*—returns to town with fresh questions and a sharper eye for trouble. As the community scrambles to make sense of what happened, a new death strikes with chilling timing, turning everyday gossip into a dangerous web of secrets. With the help of local allies and her instinct for uncovering what people try to bury, Emma finds herself drawn into a mystery where motives run deep and the truth won’t stay hidden for long. Mary Daheim’s brisk, cozy-mystery style blends small-town charm with suspenseful plotting and a cast of memorable characters, delivering a satisfying read about justice, accountability, and the cost of silence.
