*The Alpine Scandal* by Mary Daheim
This is another Emma Lord mystery. I began this series years ago and am now committed to read each new book that comes out. Emma is not my favorite character. I don't like her morals....that said however, there are no graphic details about her escapades in the books.....just illusions.
I do like the setting of NW WA in these books. I do love Vida. What I'd really like to find is a GREAT mystery series (not suspense) written by Christian authors.....great plot lines, wacky characters, good morals....any ideas?
I really prefer Daheim's Bed and Breakfast series - all main characters are married, they are fun and wacky, I like the cousin/family relationships.....and I just realized that there is a newly released book in THAT series too. Hmmm....I should check and see what's up at the Penn Dutch Inn too.....Ah man....keeping up with these older series while reading newer series is certainly a challenge. ::snort::

De'Etta, I tried to read this series but just couldn't get past the main character...I just didn't like her and it is tough for me to read a book and not like the main character. I may have to try again, but I have so many books on my list, I'm sure I will not run out of things to read.

It sure IS a challenge! Thankfully, I'm not into as many sereis as you are.. not yet anyway.

De'Etta,

Have you read Kristen Billerbeck? Her Ashley Stockingdale series is funny, I really enjoyed it.

I've not Robin - I'll have to look her up.

Debbie - I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. I just don't like Emma all that much but now - on the "S" book, she's starting to grow on me...sorta. LOL
