5.0 out of 5 stars Emma Lord is back, March 16, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The Alpine series is a delight and I look forward to each outing. Emma Lord is back in another wonderful mystery set in Alpine, Washington. Tom Cavanaugh's family comes to town and starts trouble for Emma and her staff at the Advocate, and turmoil erupts.

I won't go into detail about the plot of the book, but I will say this is another winner in the long-running Alpine series. However, I agree with a few other fans that Ms. Daheim should retire her bed-and-breakfast adventures and focus her attention on this mystery series. Although I have read only one book in the B&B series, "Just Desserts," I prefer the books with Emma Lord and her friends in Alpine, Washington. The characters are more developed, interesting and three-dimensional.

I look forward to Daheim's next Emma Lord capers. Although the town of Alpine, Washington is homey and fun to read about, I tire of the atmosphere and can only hope Daheim takes Emma far away from her hometown, like she did in THE ALPINE ESCAPE and THE ALPINE JOURNEY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still An Excellent Series, April 7, 2009
It's amazing that after 20 installments, this series is still going so strong -- especially when the author's B&B series is so awful.

This book was hard to put down and kept you turning pages until the end. I do admit that Emma got a bit annoying with her wussiness about her new reporter and her constant whining every time she didn't get an e-mail, or enough attention, from Adam. And Vida was her usual annoying, buttinsky self. But these things weren't enough to detract from the story.

One of the best things about this series is the way the characters and the town come to life. And it's not just the major characters like Emma, Vida and Milo -- it's the minor characters that only pop up now and then but whom you feel like you know after so much time.

I'm sad that it looks like there'll only be six more books before the series concludes. I've enjoyed visiting Alpine for so long and hope the author can find a way to let me continue to visit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Visitors from Emma's past, March 3, 2008
By 
Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Emma Lord is shocked when the children of her deceased fiance, Tom Cavanaugh, try to take over her small-town newspaper, the Alpine Advocate. She is determined to resist the takeover and is disappointed that Tom's children are so hostile to her. There is a murder and a shooting and suddenly Emma and her employees begin to fear for their lives. This 20th. book of the Emma Lord Mystery Series has all of the usual characters, from Emma's son, Adam, to her eccentric sidekick, Vida. The plot is somewhat convoluted and keeps the reader guessing until Mary Daheim chooses to reveal the bad guys at the end of the book. This is another good entry in this long-running series.
