Lädt ... The Alpine Yeomanvon Mary Daheim
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   JanetMcK | Mar 31, 2018 |  The problems facing print journalism are also evident in Alpine. Emma's staff is crabby and worried, and she's not sure about the future of the Advocate. There's a lot of different things happening in this book, and it felt as if it was sort of all over the place. I feel like this is more of an effort to wind up a lengthy series than to construct a mystery in its own right. (  ) lahochstetler | Mar 18, 2017 | I'm not sure how I felt about this book. It took me awhile to read which is never a good sign. (  ) born2read731 | Nov 9, 2015 | As the twenty-fifth installment of this series opens, we find Alpine going through an unsettling and uneasy period. Emma and Milo are adjusting to married life, with some push/pull and a few awkward moments, Vida is in a bad mood, Mitch's wife is still very fragile, Leo is thinking of leaving the paper, and there was a dead body discovered by the hatchery, and no one can identify him, and equally upsetting is the disappearance of a couple of teenage girls, presumed runaways. As usual, there is a lot going on in this small community of Alpine, but in this installment all the happenings had a menacing undertone to it. Not just a murder, but two runaways has Milo so busy he's meeting himself coming and going, and his deputy, Sam has gone off the radar. There were quite a few shocking developments in this story which could have some long term repercussions for some the recurring characters in the series. This one had a bit of a darker tone that usual and it felt as though things were still a little unsettled as the story came to an end. So, I am eagerly anticipating the next book, to see if everyone settles back down into more characteristic modes or if the tides have shifted away from the norm in Alpine for good. I really like catching up with Emma and Milo, although their banter felt a little forced in this installment, they are still a great couple. The mystery was sad, compelling, but a tad to “busy”. Still I enjoyed the read and it kept me entertained. 3.5 rounded to 4 (  ) gpangel | May 13, 2015 | One some occasions it was rather long winded, however it was well written with an interesting plot.

HTML:Mary Daheims bestselling novels, set in Alpine, a picturesque village tucked away in the Cascade Mountains, have charmed a generation of mystery lovers with suspenseful tales of the peril that bubbles up from below the serene surface of small-town life. 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. Vida Runkel may have insight, but Emmas redoubtable House & Home editor is mad at the world and saying little. Moreover, whispers of scandal travel through the quaint streets when some high school girls mysteriously take a walk on the wild side. And then Milos dedicated deputy, Sam Heppner, a true yeoman, suddenly goes AWOL. Whats happening in Alpine? If Milo knows, hes not telling Emma. And Emmas again headed for trouble when she starts snooping. The situation grows even more fraught when a shocking link is revealed between the mystery corpse and one of Alpines own, unearthing a long-buried dark secret.
