The Alpine Quilt by Mary Daheim

The Alpine Quilt by Mary Daheim

" A well-paced and compelling murder mystery."-Romantic Times

Quilters at the Burl Creek Thimble Club in Alpine, Washing-ton, are planning a fate to welcome back returning member Genevieve Bayard. But Gen's homecoming is cut short when she dies suddenly at a dinner party. Emma Lord, owner and publisher of the local newspaper The Alpine Advocate, vows to sleuth her way to the truth, and enlists the help of her trusted "House & Home" editor, Vida Runkel. Surprisingly, Vida seems downright unwilling to get involved. To make matters worse, murder isn't the only crime in Alpine. There have been several burglaries, which may or may not be connected to Gen's de-mise. As Emma digs, she uncovers a shocking scandal that may point the finger of guilt at one of her nearest and dearest . . . while changing the history of Alpine itself.

" Daheim amiably captures the rhythms and crosscurrents of small-town life."-Kirkus Reviews

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.
