The Alpine Quilt: An Emma Lord Mystery (Emma Lord Mysteries)

The Alpine Quilt: An Emma Lord Mystery (Emma Lord Mysteries)

USA Today bestselling author Mary Daheim knows how to spin a mystery with a tight plot and captivatingly eccentric characters. And her vivid Pacific Northwest settingâ€“a character in itselfâ€“has garnered her a plethora of devoted fans. Now her resourceful and resolute journalist Emma Lord is back with a new mystery to solveâ€“and an even tougher deadline to meet.

Members of the Burl Creek Thimble Club, a quilting circle in small-town Alpine, Washington, are planning a fete to welcome back Genevieve Bayard, who left the group, and Alpine, decades ago. But Genâ€™s homecoming is cut decidedly short when she dies at a dinner party. Emma Lord, owner and publisher of the local newspaper, The Alpine Advocate, immediately arrives on the scene to report the incident and sleuth her way to the truth.

Though it appears that Gen wasnâ€™t adored by everyone in the Alpine community, her untimely death still comes as a shock. To help solve the mystery, Emma turns to Vida Runkel, the Advocateâ€™s trusty House & Home editor. Such a notorious story would normally have Vida chomping at the bit, but to Emmaâ€™s surprise Vida is hesitant, even downright unwilling to get involved.

The demise of Genevieve Bayard, however, isnâ€™t the only crime in Alpine. There has been a rash of burglaries, including at Emmaâ€™s own cozy log cabin. Are the break-ins and the murder connected? As Emma digs, she uncovers a shocking scandal that may point the finger of guilt at one of her nearest and dearest . . . while single-handedly changing the history of Alpine itself.
