Winter in Alpine should be quiet, but the town is humming. At the Alpine Advocate, editor Emma Lord and her staff are on deadline with a feature about the opening of RestHaven, a new rehab and mental health facility. Front Street is buzzing with gossip about Emma's recent engagement to Sheriff Milo Dodge. And now that fool Wayne Eriks has climbed an electric pole in the middle of a storm and got himself electrocuted. Sheriff Dodge doesn't buy the idea that Wayne's death is an accident. But how - and, more important, why - he died is only one of the conundrums that keep the sheriff and Emma working overtime. After the Advocate's House & Home editor disappears, Milo and Emma suddenly have too many loose ends to solve before they can even think about tying the knot.

      The small town of Alpine is abuzz over newspaper editor Emma Lord's engagement to Sheriff Dodge--but the gossip mill shifts when foolish Wayne Erik electrocutes himself while climbing a power pole during a storm. However, the sheriff doesn't believe it's an accident, and the fun begins in this comic mystery. Laugh-out-loud moments escalate with an attempt on the life of the richest man in town and reports of indecent behavior at the local high school. Tanya Eby's clever individualized portrayals of the cast of eccentrics reward listeners' attention. Her smart interpretations of witty one-liners combine with clever plot twists to keep listeners laughing and guessing. The amusing portrayal of Alpine's new psychiatric hospital is wickedly entertaining. Eby's careful pacing and understatement capture the spirit of this zany mystery. G.D.W.
