The Alpine Zen by Mary Daheim

4.0

I can't believe this is the last Emma Lord book! Glad to feel like she left us (and Emma) in a good place if there aren't any future events in Alpine.

This story was a tad bit confusing, perhaps because she wanted to make sure all of the characters got a bit of spotlight before the end, but it was enjoyable and heartwarming. Well, again, as heartwarming as a murder mystery can be. I will miss Emma, the people at the Advocate, and everyone in Alpine but will just pretend that things have calmed down, she has given up smoking (again), and that Alpine continues to be as lovely as Vida tells everyone it is!
