Publisher Description
Winter in Alpine should be quiet, but the town is humming. At the Alpine Advocate, editor Emma Lord and her staff are on deadline with a feature about the opening of RestHaven, a new rehab and mental health facility. Front Street is buzzing with gossip about Emma's recent engagement to Sheriff Milo Dodge. And now that fool Wayne Eriks has climbed an electric pole in the middle of a storm and got himself electrocuted. Sheriff Dodge doesn't buy the idea that Wayne's death is an accident. But how - and, more important, why - he died is only one of the conundrums that keep the sheriff and Emma working overtime. After the Advocate's House & Home editor disappears, Milo and Emma suddenly have too many loose ends to solve before they can even think about tying the knot.

"This series never lets me down. I've read all Ms. Daheim's books and I can't get enough of Alpine and its residents. Just wanted to say that this newest in the series measures up. I strongly urge readers to find the first "A" book in the series and read them in order. You've come home!"

" As always this is a quick and fun read "

" I usually like this series, but this 24th book is all over the place. There are far too many characters and no solid plot. It read more like a gossip column where anyone could chip in. I kept waiting for something remotely resembling a mystery to happen. Plus, all the bickering got old fast. "

" I had not read an Emma Lord book in quite awhile and was a little disappointed in this one. The story was ok but the characters were not their usual quirky, lovable selves. "
— Gail, 10/20/2013 -
" I really enjoy the Alpine series. The characters have certainly developed over the years. "
— Claudia, 10/14/2013 -
" I have read all the Alpine books and love them. Emma and all the characters are fun and interesting. Nice that Emma and Dodge finally are married. Look forward to how Mary Daheim ends this series of books. Only two more Y and Z. "

" I like Mary Daheim's Bed and Breakfast series better but I enjoy the Alpine mysteries as well. This one had several interlocking mysteries so in some ways there was a little too much going on. "
— Michelle, 8/23/2013 -
" This is the 24th book in the Emma Lord series and the 2nd one I've read. I liked the fact that the book tackled social issues without being heavy handed. The rapport between Emma and the Sheriff was also enjoyable. I enjoyed the sassy one liners. A very enjoyable mystery. "
— Lisa, 8/8/2013 -
" Fun to visit Alpine again--it's been a few years. I wanted a bit more tension, though this was an interesting read with likeable characters. "
— Laura, 6/2/2013 -
" I enjoy this series in spite of the extraneous crazy characters, which I complain about in some series. I can't quite say why but this particular installment really drew me in and I wanted to read it until I finished. "
— Anne, 5/18/2013 -
" I've been reading about Emma, Vida and Milo for years...... They are sooo....cute:) The series will probably end with Alpine z??? Its a nice "cozy mystery" series. "
— Kathy, 4/5/2013 -
" Not very good mystery with one dimensional characters and poorly developed plot. Last book by this author I'll read. "
