Book Description:
For once, Emma Lord, editor-publisher of The Alpine Advocate, isn't thrilled by having an inside track. The Seattle strangling murder of Alpine native Carol Stokes is generating headlines, but the accused killer is Emma's long-lost cousin Ronnie, who swears he was out drinking when his girlfriend was strangled. But he can't prove it, and neighbors claim they heard the couple fighting moments before the murder. Now Emma and supersnoop Vida, the Advocate's house-and-home editor, must find another suspect. Someone who hated Carol enough to write a tragic ending to her life story. Someone who is preparing to edit Emma and Vida right out of existence. . . .

Besides investigating a murder that Emma's long lost cousin is involved in, she thinks about her family relationships. If you are from Seattle or know it well, you will get a good tour of the city.
Great characters. Mary Daheim's great series. Very thorough writing.
Colleen H. (It is a while since I read this series, but I recall enjoying them. Emma Lord, the central character, is likeable as are the other regular characters in this series.
Crime-fighting Emma Lord, publisher of the Alpine Advocate, finds murder a little too close to home as she and her house-and-home editor try to clear her cousin Ronnie of strangling his girlfriend. Ronnie's alibi isn't exactly all that might be hoped for. He says he was out drinking at the time, but... Includes an interview with Mary Daheim, who also writes a popular series about a B & B owner and her irrepresible (not to mention irrascible) cousin.
