From Publishers Weekly
In this seventh Emma Lord adventure, the Alpine Advocate editor copes with her small Washington town's hostility toward California realtors who want to develop the hot springs. The death of of a realtor halts the deal. Vida Runkel, Emma's able home editor, spreads gossippy tales that "breed around this town like mosquitoes in a pond." As in most soap-opera small towns, everyone knows everyone else's doings. Sheriff Milo Dodge is dumber than anything Mayberry had to offer and pigheadedly refuses to veer off the beaten path. Unfortunately, the only surprise in this predictable, mundane book is Emma's interest in him. More interaction with priestly brother Ben and his Indian congregation might have added interest.

Product Description
THE ALPINE ADVOCATE IS ON A ROLL.
The big story is the five million dollar luxury spa that Los Angeles real estate developers want to build around Alpine's mountainside mineral springs--hot news and fierce controversy for Advocate readers, and for the paper's editor and publisher, Emma Lord.
Pro-spa Alpiners cite the prospect of sorely needed new jobs. Those against it predict glitz, sleaze, and an avalanche of "Californicators." No one foresees the murder that shocks the town. Aided by her House & Home editor, Vida Runkel, and tongue-tied Sheriff Milo Dodge, Emma lines up her biggest, blackest headlines and goes hunting--for a brilliant killer and the strange story behind an almost perfect crime. . . .
