Product Information | |
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. | |

THE ALPINE UPROAR: This Emma Lord Mystery is Another Wry and Witty Whodunit
What's not to love about a witty cozy series wherein the heroine's sidekick wears outrageous hats purchased on eBay by her daughter? "You'd be amazed at the bargains you can find on that site," says the sidekick. So true! With lead characters that savvy, you just hope the locale, plotting, and storyline live up to them -- and they do. Set in the fictitious village of Alpine, Washington, Daheim has been following Sue Grafton through the alphabet with her Alpine titles; right now they're neck and neck at V, and I'm not sure who's going to reach Z first. But they're both at the top of their game. Mary Daheim also writes a "zany" bed-and-breakfast mystery series, but I find the Emma Lord Mysteries much funnier. The humor is dry and understated, and the local color (in terms of both characters and and setting) more believably vivid. Like its alphabetical predecessors, "The Alpine Uproar" serves up a deliciously baffling whodunit with a healthy slice of wry. This is a terrifically fun, enjoyably readable, and somewhat overlooked/underrated classic cozy series. It even has the traditional skull hidden in the cover art. Discover Alpine and Emma Lord, and you'll have almost an alphabet's worth of treats in store! Thank you for reading my review. If you found it helpful, please vote by clicking "Yes" below.
