Book Description:
THE EDITOR OF THE ALPINE ADVOCATE GOES DIGGING FOR A MURDERER.
At forty-two, newspaperwoman Emma Lord decides she needs time off to do
some soul-searching. But her old Jag breaks down in the picturesque Pacific
Northwest town of Port Angeles, and instead of finding herself, she ,s helping
friends find the truth about a grisly discovery: a skeleton in their basement.
The bones belong to those of an unknown young woman, buried in a
crumbling mansion nearly a century ago. A crushed skull, a garnet earring, a
locket containing a telltale keepsake *all whisper of tragedy. Ancient
photographs reveal more. But Emma has to fish in dark and dangerous
waters to get the whole story of a wealthy, ruthless family, a story that
twists and turns to a shocking conclusion that should never be told....

Here's another treasure in the delightful series in which a new female newspaper owner in a small town in the state of Washington struggles to fit in.
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!!
An excellent addition to this series and the only victim has been dead for many years.
Great characters. Mary Daheim's great series. Very thorough writing.
Dena (Suzie) C. (This cozy gives a lot of very interesting background history of Washington state that I found fascinating. The mystery itself is fun but a bit confusing because of so many characters.
I found this a little slow going; took a while to get into it. It's a historical mystery, although the main characters are living in the present. Lots of geneology; lots of names to keep track of, which isn't easy. Not the best book in the series.
