About this ebook
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....

Reviews for The Alpine Betrayal
40 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5When a hometown girl turned movie star returns to Alpine to make a film, she digs up all sorts of unpleasantness. Her ex, who is currently engaged to the niece of one of Emma's reporters, is run over by a car; later the ME finds that he was already dead from poison. The solution is unexpected and marginally clever. I find Emma irritating, but her social news reporter is a hoot and is fun to read about.
