The Alpine Yeoman

Emma Lord Mystery, Book 25

An ill wind blows through Alpine, but Advocate publisher Emma Lord and Sheriff Milo Dodge seem immune to the prevailing angst. The newlyweds' domestic idyll is most definitely over when a dead man is discovered near the fish hatchery and nobody has a clue as to his identity. Moreover, whispers of scandal travel through the quaint streets when some high school girls mysteriously take a walk on the wild side. And then Milo's dedicated deputy, Sam Heppner, a true yeoman, suddenly goes AWOL. What's happening in Alpine? If Milo knows, he's not telling Emma. The situation grows even more fraught when a shocking link is revealed between the mystery corpse and one of Alpine's own, unearthing a long-buried dark secret.

I love all books in this series.

I love the book, but being a Washington State native I did not like hearing the mispronounced names of almost all towns, counties, and Lake Chelan.

Enjoyable characters, interesting plot

Alpine is a small town in Washington state’s Cascade mountains. The characters have real life complexity and the plot is intriguing. A very enjoyable read.
