The Alpine Advocate by Mary Daheim
The debut of the Emma Lord murder mystery series.After a year as publisher-editor of the Alpine Advocate, Emma Lord feels fine about her move to this small town in the foothills of Washington's Cascade Mountains. What she really needs for her paper, though, is a big story. And she gets it--when handsome Mark Doukas, grandson of rich, old Neeny Doukas is murdered. Emma discovers that trying to get straight answers out of Neeny and his thin-lipped son is like poking a nest of sleeping rattlesnakes. What begins with an innocent story about the murdered man, ends with Emma conducting the most interesting, and probably the last, interview of her career from the wrong end of a .38....
Before she could spell, Mary Richardson Daheim began making up stories. Daheim has worked as a journalist, an editor, a public relations consultant, and a freelance writer, but her preferred medium has always been fiction. She began a career that has resulted in more than fifty novels since 1982. The Pacific Northwest Writers Association awarded her the Literary Achievement Award in 2000. She was recognized into the University of Washington's Communications Hall of Fame in October 2008. Daheim is a direct descendent of past residents of the genuine Alpine when it existed in the early twentieth century, and she lives in Seattle.
