After absolutely loving The Alpine Advocate and vowing to read everyone in the series in order (which would be a mystery series first for me), I was a bit disappointed by this somewhat convoluted mystery...I also never like Hollywood subplots with sexy actresses and hunky co-stars and such - I live in LA and it always feels phony in books...
I still plan to give Alpine Christmas a try, and we'll see from there...

Second in this delightful series in which a new female newspaper owner in a small town in the state of Washington struggles to fit in with all the weird & crazy citizens of the small town of Alpine.
The characters are delightfully nutty & there's always something going on.....mostly leading to a discovery of a murder by the owner of the newspaper, which doesn't please the local sheriff. This delightful series continues with most of the leading characters
in the successive books. You'll learn to love the characters & won't want to miss their growth over the series.Great reading!!

Sequel to THE ALPINE ADVOCATE.
When a local girl, Dani Marsh, returns to Alpine a star to shoot a Hollywood film, the tension in the air is so thick it crackles. Then at the annual Loggerama, Dani's former husband, Cody Graff goes berserk with an axe and is later found dead. Reporting on on all the goings-on as the editor of the ADVOCATE, Emma Lord begins to suspect that neither she nor the sheriff, laconic Milo Dodge, is getting the real story. Why are there such strong feelings among those who knew Dani back when? Why so few tears for Cody Graff? Whence the impenetrable mystery that enfolds Alpine like a shroud? Emma's nose for a story leads her straight into trouble....

Liked it so much, I am going to read the other alpine mysteries
The second in a nice cozy mystery, with a tricky ending. I liked it.
