Picturesque Alpine is no longer the brawling logging town of yesteryear. So when a drunken fight at the Icicle Creek Tavern leaves a loner named Alvin De Muth dead, the residents feel as if they’ve gone back to the Bad Old Days. The inquiry into the incident should be a no-brainer, but since the witnesses were half-tanked at the time, Sheriff Milo Dodge is left with conflicting stories. But soon Emma Lord, editor and publisher of The Alpine Advocate, has an even bigger story to report: a heartbreaking highway accident that leaves two people dead and one on life support. Rumors are flying: Are the two tragedies linked in some inexplicable way? Assisted by that human bulldozer Vida Runkel, the Advocate’s House & Home editor, Emma goes for the gold.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Series,
This review is from: The Alpine Uproar: An Emma Lord Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
As always this series is a good read and the cast of characters feel like old friends. However, in this installment, there were just too many of them to keep straight. And since many of them were new to the storyline, the reader wasn't able to fall back on familiarity to keep them all straight.Looking forward to the next installment, especially the fallout for Vida.

Continued good read,
This review is from: The Alpine Uproar: An Emma Lord Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Have read this series since its inception (A). Ms. Daheim has maintained good characters and good story lines throughout to this point. Hope she is able to continue that through to the end, assuming it will end with "Z".
