Book Description

Emma Lord Mystery October 3, 2006
Welcome to Alpine, Washington, where murder and mayhem is all in a day’s work!

Sassy, intelligent, single mother Emma Lord has always wanted to own a newspaper. And when she inherits half a million dollars from an ex-boyfriend, she is able to do just that. She buys The Alpine Advocate, local paper of the sleepy town of Alpine, Washington. Unfortunately, there’s not much to write about in a small town. But then the murders start, and Emma finds that not only does she have front-page stories to write, she also has killers to uncover!

In this volume, the first three Alpine Advocate novels are included in their entirety. Whether you’re already a fan of Emma Lord and the residents of Alpine, or this is your first visit to the Cascade Mountains, you’ll love the quirky characters, surprising plot twists, and fast-paced writing that exemplify this series. Welcome to Alpine!

In The Alpine Advocate, family drama reaches a fever pitch when rich old Neeny Doukas’ handsome grandson Mark Doukas is found murdered. Evidence suggests that Mark’s brother Chris, the black sheep of the Dooukas clan, may be to blame, but suddenly everyone in the family is acting suspicious. Emma and her trusted assistant Vida, who knows everyone in Alpine and is related to most of them, are on the case!

Next in The Alpine Betrayal, Dani Marsh, who left Alpine years ago to become a Hollywood movie star, returns home to shoot her latest movie. Soon after her arrival, her ex-husband Cody Graf goes berserk with an axe, and is later found dead on a deserted back road. Emma covers the story for the local paper, but she and her friend Milo, the local sheriff, don’t think they’re getting the whole story. Why does everyone in town seem to hate Dani? Did Cody Graff really overdose, or was he murdered? Emma is determined to find out!

Finally there’s The Alpine Christmas. Winter in Alpine is picturesque, with deep snow, Christmas trees, frozen lakes, and carolers. But the beauty is tarnished when a woman’s severed leg is found in the lake, and another woman’s dead body turns up in the forest. Emma Lord is joined on the case by her brother Ben, an irreverent priest visiting from Arizona. Can they find the killer before more women wind up dead?

The Alpine Murder Mysteries start here in the first three books included in this Omnibus. The characters come to life and have you rooting for them through all the good and bad that comes with this and then all the following books. I so recommend The Alpine Series for some light reading and fun times through murder and mayhem.Start with this book and continue through the line of alphabetical murders that to date goes to The Alpine Traitor...

5.0 out of 5 stars Alpine Omnibus, August 27, 2010

This review is from: The Alpine Advocate Mysteries Omnibus: The Alpine Advocate, The Alpine Betrayal, The Alpine Christmas (Emma Lord Mystery) (Hardcover)
The book arrived on time and was in excellent condition. No complaints. Yes, I am the author, but was running out of my own copies because of so many donation requests from libraries and other organizations, including charity auctions/ It's comforting to know that I can restock via Amazon's sellers.

I don't live in Washington, but have in earlier years and have visited often ... and miss it a lot. So the setting of the small town of Alpine is a great start to my enjoyment of the great cast of characters (and most of them deserve that appelation!) and good stories . . . I will definitely want to read more of Ms. Daheim's work.
